Find out how well your organisation prevents, detects and responds to realistic attacker behaviour, with your own team involved every step of the way. CloudGuard’s service tests meaningful attack scenarios collaboratively, validating how your controls perform in practice and turning findings into clear, prioritised actions.













Many organisations have invested in security tooling but still lack confidence in how those controls would perform during a real incident.
Dashboards may look healthy, policies may be documented and alerts may be flowing, but that doesn’t prove your organisation can detect the right activity quickly enough.
Without testing how your people, processes and controls perform together, it’s difficult to know whether you’d respond effectively before serious harm is done.
A one-off list of vulnerabilities doesn’t build lasting capability. Without collaborative testing and knowledge transfer, the same gaps can persist engagement after engagement.
Our service is collaborative and improvement-focused. Rather than testing your organisation in isolation, we work alongside your team to validate controls and turn what we find into practical change during the engagement itself.
We assess how effectively your team detects, investigates and responds to attack activity as it unfolds, including visibility, escalation and containment.
Â
We simulate current and emerging Tactics, Techniques and Procedures across the cyber kill chain, so testing reflects genuine attacker behaviour rather than generic checks.
We map activity to recognised frameworks such as ATT&CK, giving you a structured, evidence-based view of security performance and maturity.
We work with your team throughout the exercise, explaining what’s happening in real time and highlighting where detection is strong and where it needs improvement.
We deliver this service as a collaborative effort focused on improvement, not on creating noise or disruption, helping you identify risk and strengthen defences through realistic testing.
We work with your team to understand the environment, the attack paths that matter most and the security questions you want answered, keeping the exercise aligned to business priorities.
We simulate initial access in a controlled way, using current and emerging techniques to reflect how a realistic attacker would first enter your environment.
We test whether existing controls would detect or block attempts to avoid detection and maintain a presence within your environment over time.
We escalate privileges, gather intelligence and move laterally across systems, testing how far an attacker could progress towards sensitive systems or data.
As the engagement progresses, we work closely with your team to explain what's happening, highlight where detection is strong and identify where changes are needed.
You receive structured outputs including an attack narrative, attack path mapping and prioritised recommendations, linking findings to detection engineering and governance priorities.
We do more than simulate attacker behaviour. We work with your team to explain findings clearly, validate how existing controls perform and turn outcomes into actions that strengthen detection and response.
We test how your controls and processes perform against realistic attack activity, working alongside your team rather than testing in isolation.
We show how your team detects, investigates and responds as a scenario unfolds, and where escalation or triage needs to improve.
We help you build lasting capability through direct knowledge transfer, not just a one-off exercise, supporting longer-term security improvement.
Looking for a clearer view of readiness, stronger confidence in detection and response, and better evidence for leadership reporting.
Responsible for strengthening internal capability, who want practical, collaborative testing rather than an isolated technical exercise.

CloudGuard is embedded in the cybersecurity industry – recognised, accredited, and trusted to protect real organisations every day.
Our cybersecurity experts will assess your organisation’s current security posture, with remediation actions to close any gaps.
An objective-led, more adversarial exercise that tests whether a realistic attacker could reach a defined goal without being detected
Penetration testing is mainly focused on identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Purple teaming goes further by testing how well your organisation detects and responds as the scenario develops, with your own team directly involved throughout. It gives you a more complete view of resilience and builds internal capability at the same time, rather than leaving you with just a list of weaknesses to work through afterwards.
No.It is designed to be controlled and non-destructive. The purpose is to simulate realistic attack behaviour without creating unnecessary operational impact. Scope and constraints are agreed in advance with your team, so the service remains useful and manageable, and testing stays aligned to what matters most for your organisation.
This type of service is usually most valuable for security leaders, IT leaders and the internal teams responsible for monitoring, investigation and response. Because it is collaborative, these teams are directly involved throughout the exercise rather than only receiving results at the end. Senior stakeholders may also be involved in reviewing outcomes and agreeing next steps.
You will receive structured outputs such as an executive summary, scope overview, full attack narrative, attack path mapping, practical recommendations and prioritised next steps. These outputs are designed to help both technical teams and leadership understand the findings and act on them, alongside the knowledge transfer that’s built into the engagement itself.
Yes. It can support a broader security improvement programme by highlighting where detection engineering, governance, processes and defensive controls need attention. It also works well alongside Security Posture Assessment, Managed XDR, Cybersecurity Managed Services and CISO Advisory Services, forming part of an ongoing programme rather than a single, standalone exercise.
Red Teaming testing does test and prove an organisations readiness and performance in the event of a real-world cyber event. A Purple Teaming event takes this to the next level working with each organisation to identify the risk, mitigate the risk, complete knowledge transfer whilst improving security team experience and confidence. It is the closest thing to improving real world attack performance.
