AEV: The Next Evolution of BAS

Breach and Attack Simulation proved that testing works—but today’s threats demand more than periodic validation. Adversarial Exposure Validation delivers continuous, comprehensive and targeted testing and transforms how security teams achieve and maintain defense readiness.

Validate Continuously

Catch failures fast with always-on, automated testing that eliminates point-in-time blind spots.

Validate Everything

Verify threats, controls, and attack paths across cloud, identity, and infrastructure—in one unified platform.

Validate Everywhere

Evaluate defenses across endpoints, hybrid environments, and third parties at scale and without disruption.

Validate What Matters

Prioritize exploitable exposures that impact your business and prove which defenses actually work.

Introducing The AttackIQ Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) Platform

The AttackIQ AEV platform goes beyond traditional exposure management by continuously validating security controls and simulating real-world scenarios.

Security Challenges

From Fortune 500 companies to mid-sized enterprises, organizations across industries trust us to keep them resilient.

  • Defense, Transportation

    “The reports are easy for management to understand; we do not get many questions about them. Also, the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform enables us to run monthly scenarios emulating the latest threats showing up in the news. Because we understand, and can demonstrate, whether our systems and processes will prevent specific current threats, we can quickly communicate to our leadership what the risk level is.”

    “The partnership with AttackIQ has supercharged our cyber risk service offerings. The company offers an evergreen, out-of-the-box solution for threat emulation and automated breach and attack simulation that is fully integrated with MITRE ATT&CK. That means it’s easy for us to use, and that it’s always up to date with the latest in adversary techniques and threat behavior. None of the tools we used were integrated with MITRE ATT&CK, which made them time consuming to apply and analyze. The reporting was limited, and the overall usability of the system was inefficient.”

    “AttackIQ has done wonders in terms of giving us a clear picture. One CISO responded to the results of a test and said, ‘I don’t believe this.’ We got some engineers to perform an independent validation and, sure enough, the AttackIQ results were correct. Having assessment data at my fingertips is very useful when I need to push a team to take certain actions.”

    “Since we deployed AttackIQ, anytime there is a new adversary or a new attack scenario, analyzing whether our controls are effective against it takes a click of a button. Within hours of a threat first being reported, I can run a test and confirm with the customer that our defenses are sound. Before they even come to us, I can send a message to our customers telling them, ‘This new attack is happening, but don’t worry: We are already up to date.'”

    “It’s a huge opportunity for us and other companies to get these tools in your hands that are exponentially more expensive to put in place through traditional means. Breach and attack simulation with AttackIQ is our best investment in maturing our program. Going from having no security program to now reporting to the board quarterly, having actionable intelligence, and auditable reporting to validate that our controls are doing what we say they do. One, it helps us from a budget perspective because it instills confidence in the board that we are investing our dollars wisely and getting the results we promised. For example, I’ll take the LokiLoker ransomware outbreak, simulate that attack, and tell the board that we could show you exactly what would happen if we were to be attacked with that ransomware, and here’s how effectively we are at preventing it. I did get a promotion after this. I went from senior manager to a director-level position.”

    “One of the other leading competitors had a vision of running tens of thousands of scenarios that are actual malware samples. That was a real pain for the people who had to resolve 20,000 alerts. And when you have that many different scenarios, you have to just look at the percentages. You might see 80% effectiveness in one area and think that seems pretty good, but the 20% of tests that weren’t successful might indicate critical gaps. It made a lot more sense to us to run scenarios that are much more targeted to our specific needs.”

    “Our initial intention is to ensure whatever endpoint security solution we have, that our technology stack is firing appropriately. That it’s catching when it’s supposed to catch, preventing what’s supposed to prevent. AttackIQ has allowed us to test and get a good picture of our EDR capabilities. I know AttackIQ is working as intended because the detections have increased. We are up around 30% for our detections.”

    “AttackIQ is very good about keeping up-to-date as new exploits emerge. That is an important benefit of the platform: The scenarios are always being updated, and new scenarios are created very quickly anytime the external environment changes. Then we run scenarios that simulate the zero-day incident. We run those scenarios against our tools to see whether an attack might affect our environment or our customers. AttackIQ makes it easy to run these different kinds of tests, with a wide variety of scopes, to see how our other security tools handle the threats that we may be facing.”

    “Now, we can automatically test something and get feedback within the AttackIQ. Nobody needs to check for alerts manually. We brought automated testing to different teams, like for our blue and networking teams, for networking segmentation.”

    “They might think they’ve successfully closed a control gap. We can prove whether that’s true; we don’t have to take their word for it. Without AttackIQ, it would be possible for my team to do that, but it would be extremely time-consuming. They would have to reach out to the end user support team, get a machine on the network in question, then run the attack and see whether it succeeds. With Attack IQ, we just push a button to re-run the test that revealed the problem in the first place.”

  • MITRE ATT&CK For Dummies

    How can you ensure that your cybersecurity capabilities defend your organization as best they can? After decades and billions of dollars spent on the people, processes, and technology of cybersecurity, this question still haunts security leaders. Intruders break past, security controls falter, and defenses fail against even basic cyberattack techniques. What should be done? Instead of trying to close every vulnerability, meet every standard, or buy the “best” technology, security teams can change the game by focusing their defenses on known threats.
