Purple Teaming
Could our Graphics dept be any more cliché 👆
Idiot-proof marketing aside, purple is purposeful.
When you blend offensive & defensive security together, something magical happens.
A purple team's mission is to correlate threat actor techniques with the organization's detective and defensive controls—ensuring the organization can be alerted to threats and, where possible, automagically mitigate them without the need for human intervention. It has a simple purpose but a critical impact.
How We Do It
Red + Blue Team Experience
We don't just get it, we get it right.
The operators at SEVN-X are seasoned professionals from both adversarial (red) and defensive (blue) backgrounds. We have extensive knowledge identifying, replicating, and detecting TTPs used by attackers. Whatever your EDR, we'll help you tune detection mechanisms, alerting, and blocking.
Real-Time Remediation & Validation
The primary benefit to purple team exercises is the collaboration and real-time feedback from testing. Tune and enhance your tools in real-time. We'll help you refine your stack until it's properly alerting and defending against the specified test case. Play chess not checkers.
ATT&CK Framework Heat Map
We're ok standing on the shoulders of giants. MITRE has built a comprehensive matrix to draw assessment inspiration from. They provide a clear visual map for improving specific detection/prevention and monitoring security controls. We're happy to use it.
Stress-Free Exercise
Relax, It's all just war games.
We'll provide a collaborative, stress-free project by helping:
- Scope appropriate tests
- Refine detection controls
- Explain why and how these TTPs are used
With guaranteed identification of potential compromises, your team can focus on improving controls across your whole security stack (SIEM, EDRs, network, etc.).
Create a Winning Blue Team.
Red or blue, the goal is always the same: Defeat Hackers.
Level-up your blue team and your capabilities. By the end of the exercises, your teams and tools will have advanced and be better positioned to detect and defeat intrusion attempts by real hackers. We'll help you send 'em packing.
“The SEVN-X approach to penetration testing is unlike anything I have encountered in the past. Their innovative approach and deep skillsets not only reveal technology problems but also uncover people- and process-related problems. I consider our company more secure having partnered with SEVN-X.”
VP of IT Risk, Security, & Governance, Global Healthcare Company
In the end
It's all about the report.
We're big on content, short on fluff.
Executive Summary
Provide senior leadership with a clear understanding of exactly what was done, why it was done, and how the organization is more secure for having done it. We believe we've cracked the code on making this content accessible and understandable to the highest levels of management in an organization.
Strategic recommendations to support and enable executives in making decisions, packaged for executive delivery.
Assessment Results
Test cases are organized according the MITRE Framework—the current standard in attacker TTPs.
Each test case receives a detailed breakdown including a description of the risk, detailing the threat it poses to the organization, and the steps taken by the team to remediate it. When applicable, additional information or considerations may be necessary to achieve full remediation—not otherwise possible during the testing window.
Appendices
We'll only provide useful and meaningful appendices. That's our promise. We don't inflate reports by adding unnecessary content. If it will help you, it's in there. If not, check the circular filing cabinet 🗑️.
Like with out Penetration Test reports, we include detailed summaries, processes, and results for engagement campaigns (i.e., recon, wireless, physical testing), which include images, statistics, tools, and techniques used.
“Very glad we reached out for our comprehensive pen testing. Not only did Eric and team perform detailed testing results, but they also provided up-to-date feedback and assisted us with any recommendations after testing. We really appreciate the partnership and will grow our relationship even further in 2025 and beyond.”
