Security Risk Advisors Releases “The Purple Perspective 2026” Report

Security Risk Advisors' "The Purple Perspective 2026" summarizes results from 160+ purple team exercises and testing of over 8,300 TTPs to benchmark detection and prevention performance. Key findings show organizations that run 2–4 purple team exercises yearly perform better, while many post-exploitation behaviors are logged but rarely alerted (e.g., Pass-the-ticket: logged 42%/alerted 16%; Bulk SharePoint downloads: logged 70%/alerted 24%; Scheduled task persistence: logged 66%/alerted 27%; HTTPS C2 over 443: logged 47%/alerted 10%). The report highlights underutilized telemetry, gaps between compliance and security teams, and provides industry-specific recommendations to improve defensive coverage and incident response integration.
