Ready for a collaborative test?
Meet with Lares to discuss creating an environment where your team can simulate real-world attacks, measure the effectiveness of your security controls, and rapidly improve your organization’s resilience.
Offense + Defense: Lares Purple Team Collaboration
Lares goes beyond conventional red teaming and penetration testing by fostering a collaborative environment where offensive and defensive teams work together. This approach ensures your organization identifies vulnerabilities and strengthens its defenses in real-time, building resilience against the most sophisticated adversaries.
What is Purple Teaming?
More than just a simulated attack exercise -- It’s an interactive, iterative process where our adversarial engineers and your security team collaborate to test and enhance your controls. Lares' approach helps your teams understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers and refine your defenses accordingly.
Collaborative Effort
Engage in dynamic, real-time attack and defense scenarios through our collaborative Purple Teaming. By integrating the offensive strategies of Red Teams with the defensive acumen of Blue Teams, we expose vulnerabilities, rigorously test defenses, and continuously refine incident responses to bolster your security posture.
Defensive Control Analysis
Enhance your defensive strategies with our in-depth control analysis. Our experts evaluate your security controls against stringent industry benchmarks and best practices, identifying and eliminating redundancies to strengthen your defenses and optimize resource allocation.
Defensive Capability Measurement & Improvement
Elevate your security maturity consistently with our capability measurement services. We offer detailed evaluations and provide actionable insights, enabling incremental enhancements to your defenses, all tailored to your specific business needs and without disrupting ongoing operations.
Adversarial Simulation
Challenge your security measures with our sophisticated adversarial simulations designed to mirror real-world threats. These scenarios are crafted to test and enhance your team's detection and response capabilities, offering crucial insights for security improvement.
Table-Top Scenario & Planning
Strengthen preparedness with our table-top exercises, which involve realistic security breach scenarios tailored to your industry. These exercises enhance your team's strategic response and decision-making capabilities under pressure, ensuring readiness for actual incidents.
Custom Solutions and Organizational Alignment
At Lares, each Purple Teaming engagement is uniquely tailored to align with your organizational goals. Our approach ensures that the security strategies we develop are not only effective but seamlessly integrate with your business objectives, enhancing both security and operational efficiency.
Real-World Attack Emulation
We excel in simulating real-world attack scenarios, making our Purple Teaming exercises as rigorous as actual cyber-attacks. This method ensures that every aspect of your cybersecurity setup is tested under realistic conditions, helping to highlight vulnerabilities and enhance incident response strategies effectively.
Security Product Value Assessment
Our Purple Teaming service includes a thorough assessment of your existing security tools to determine their effectiveness and efficiency. Lares identifies any coverage blind spots or unnecessary redundancies, offering strategies to optimize your security investments and enhance overall protection without additional expenditures.
