Threat Emulation
Test and tune your defences by executing curated adversary behaviours in a purple-team engagement.
Purple-Team Collaboration
Joint testing & live tuning
- MITRE ATT&CK-aligned test cases
- Purple-team collaboration
- Detection & response validation
- Measurable security maturity metrics
Benefits of Threat Emulation
Go beyond vulnerability scanning – validate your entire security stack under realistic, observable attack conditions.
Validate Detection Coverage
Identify blind spots across endpoints, network, cloud and SaaS tooling with measurable metrics.
Accelerate Response Readiness
Practice incident handling playbooks in a safe environment to reduce mean-time-to-respond when a true attack strikes.
Continuous Improvement Loop
Repeatable test cases allow you to track detection maturity over time and justify security investments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All tests are executed under strict control, require prior approval and have built-in safeguards as well as immediate rollback options.
Penetration tests focus on finding exploitable vulnerabilities. Threat emulation focuses on executing known attacker behaviours to validate the effectiveness of your detection & response controls.
No. Our operators bring and manage all required tooling and scripts. We simply require test accounts and a communication channel with your defenders.
Organisations that already have detection and response in place and want proof that it works. That includes in-house security operations teams, detection engineers tuning rules, organisations validating a managed detection provider, and teams that have recently deployed or changed their EDR or SIEM.
We recommend a full engagement at least once a year, plus a focused emulation after significant changes, such as a new EDR or SIEM, major changes to detection rules, or new attacker techniques relevant to your industry. Regular smaller exercises between full engagements keep your defences tuned as threats evolve.
We need to know which environments are in scope, your current detection and response tooling, and the threats or threat actors that concern you most. We also confirm any systems that are off-limits, preferred testing windows, the test accounts we will use, and a communication channel with your defenders.
