What is a purple team?

Threat emulation schedule with dates, sources, statuses, and a vulnerabilities list with severity and fix status.

A purple team is not a third team sitting between red and blue. It is a way of working in which offensive and defensive functions share findings in one loop: the attacker explains how the path worked, the defenders build detection for it, and the attacker re-tests whether the detection fires. Purple is the collaboration, not the org chart.

Where purple teaming tends to stall

The moment purple becomes a role, it becomes a third party to coordinate, and coordination overhead is precisely the problem it was invented to remove. A team with no mandate can recommend but not change detection rules or fix code, so its output becomes another report nobody owns.

The cheaper intervention is almost always process, not headcount: make every offensive finding arrive with enough detail for a defender to build detection, and make re-testing that detection a scheduled step rather than a favour.

A working loop has five steps: offensive work produces a path rather than just a vulnerability; defenders receive it with the telemetry it should have generated; detection is built or tuned, or the gap recorded honestly; the same path is re-run to confirm the detection fires; and the result is recorded so the next exercise starts from a known baseline.

How Strike keeps the loop moving

Strike runs the offensive half and does not claim the other one: it does not staff blue teams and does not sell a purple team. Findings arrive with reproduction steps and evidence, so defenders can build detection from them without a translation meeting.

Re-running the same path after a detection change is a normal operation rather than a new engagement. Retesting availability depends on the subscribed scope.

Your team stays in control while testing runs: real-time visibility into what is executing, configurable exclusions, and a kill switch that pauses everything immediately. Purple teaming needs an offensive partner the defenders can steer.

Our solution architecture

A centralized platform that combines continuous asset monitoring, autonomous threat emulation, and expert remediation support—powered by AI agents, human validation, and a dedicated governance team.

ALWAYS-ON PLATFORM

Strike supplies the offensive half of the loop

Strike does not staff blue teams and does not sell a purple team. What it provides is offensive work in a form defenders can use: each finding ships with reproduction steps and evidence, and re-running a path after a detection change is a normal operation rather than a new project.

In-depth continuous testing

Strikers uncover high-impact vulnerabilities across multi-technology environments (web apps, APIs, mobile, cloud, and more).

AI-led retesting on-demand

Validate fixes without waiting for the next testing cycle. Retesting availability depends on the subscribed scope.

Real-time fixing

coming soon

AI agents guide your team step-by-step through remediation to accelerate resolution.

Step-by-step Threat emulation creation

Easily scope, launch, and track your Threat emulation with full transparency.

Human triaging & peer review

Expert human validation before customer delivery, for accuracy and impact.

Full visibility

Track every finding with complete transparency through security expert work logs and real-time notifications.

Seamless integrations

Connect directly with Slack, Teams and Jira to streamline collaboration with your security and development teams.

Vulnerability Manager

Visualize, manage, and retest vulnerabilities in one platform, with full context on severity, sources, and remediation.

Reporting that supports audit and compliance programs

Generate up-to-date reports with evidence per finding to support your PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 programs. Strike does not issue SOC 2 reports, ISO certificates or PCI DSS attestations.

Ongoing partnership

Weekly check-ins with a dedicated Customer Success Manager, plus personalized onboarding and strategic planning.

The re-run is what separates purple teaming from a meeting. Without it you have an intention, not a control.
