Security Risk Advisors Purple Team Participants Can Now Earn CPE Credits

Home Press Release Security Risk Advisors Purple Team Participants Can Now Earn CPE Credits Philadelphia, United States / Pennsylvania, April 14th, 2026, CyberNewswire GIAC and ISC2 now recognize active participation in SRA Purple Team exercises as an eligible Continuing Professional Education (CPE) activity. Teams can earn CPE credits while strengthening organizational detection and response capabilities! How? Some CPE activities are pretty passive – webinars, conferences and online courses can check a box. An SRA Purple Team exercise is different. Analysts, engineers, incident responders and CISOs work together to test real, prioritized MITRE ATT&CK TTPs. Participants don’t watch demos, they execute and observe safe, live attacks and evaluate the effectiveness of their tools and processes. With an SRA Purple Team, teams walk away with: Direct experiences with prioritized MITRE ATT&CK-mapped techniques relevant to the current threat landscape An understanding of the detection strengths and gaps in your tools and processes Documented, structured results in VECTR that can be referenced and built upon Credits toward GIAC and ISC2 certification maintenance The Numbers SRA’s standard purple team engagements involve approximately 15 hours of execution time during the testing window, which converts up to 15 CPE credits per participant. For anyone holding GIAC certifications (GPEN, GCIH, GCFA, etc.) or ISC2 credentials (CISSP, SSCP, CCSP, etc.), that is a significant contribution toward their renewal without any additional time or financial investments. Documentation and Submissions Starting in April 2026, SRA will provide a certificate to each active participant* that includes: Participant name Activity name Engagement dates Hours of participation A short justification summary From there, the submission process follows each organization’s standard CPE reporting workflow for GIAC or ISC2.
