How Talos IR’s Purple Team can help you prepare for the worst-case scenario
Summary: Cisco Talos Incident Response offers Purple Team exercises within its Retainer service, in which an external Red Team acts as an Advanced Persistent Threat actor while the Talos IR Blue Team and the customer's defenders detect and respond using existing procedures. Exercises are built around the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, with scenarios tailored to the organization's industry, geography, and crown-jewel assets, and conclude with a report and debrief session.
What's compelling: The exercise tests whether your existing logs and security tooling are sufficient to detect an emulated adversary, and the resulting report identifies gaps in coverage and telemetry that a security leader can use to direct future tool and resource investments.
