Why this module exists. Red teams find what defenders missed. Blue teams build detections. Purple teams put both in the same room — making a single exercise simultaneously a test, a learning event, and a detection-engineering session. The output: detections that work for the techniques attackers actually use.

What purple team isn’t

  • Not “let’s all hold hands” — it’s adversarial collaboration with structured outputs.
  • Not a one-time exercise — it’s a continuous practice in mature organisations.
  • Not a replacement for real red-team engagements — it’s complementary.
