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

    “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.”

  • “AttackIQ also stands out because even as it emulates the adversary in its testing process, we can be confident that if we attack a client’s production systems, we will not break their workflows. That is a problem for some pen testing tools.”

    “One of our goals is to run standard tests across all the environments and regions we operate in. We want to know that all our stores have the same security, regardless of where they’re located. “Because testing in the Security Optimization Platform is programmatic, the tests are done in the same way on every system in every country, on every continent. If I run the test today, next week, and then again four years from now, the results will be comparable, apples to apples, unless we have purposely changed something. The Security Optimization Platform doesn’t just enable us to execute at scale; it also enables us to execute consistently at scale, which is something we couldn’t do without underlying technology.”

    “When we can prove that our solutions and controls are not just adequate, but they’re rock solid, there’s much value there. The investments in our firewalls, endpoint controls, and network security controls help build the program’s reputation and instill more confidence. Then when we go to the board for requesting a large sum of funding for maybe a new project, there are not as many questions.”

    “For example, if one group was blocking a UAC [user account control] bypass attempt, while other groups weren’t blocking it, we would talk to the teams to figure out what made the one group successful. The results of these narrower tests are actionable throughout the different business units.”

    “We have a variety of controls with so many overlapping components that we have to question whether we are effectively protecting ourselves or we have a false sense of security. We might have controls X, Y, and Z, and a successful attack should be impossible because each of those controls should catch it. But with AttackIQ, we might find that none of the controls actually catches an attack we would expect them all to detect. In a lot of ways, the comprehensiveness and complexity of the security architecture we’ve built is driving our need for the AttackIQ tool — we need an external capability to see that what we expect to be protected is actually being protected.”

    “Our team is relatively small, so Vanguard will prove invaluable for us. With AttackIQ as our trusted partner, we can rest assured that we are getting the most out of the platform. We now can act according to what the intelligence tells us for a true, risk-based approach. And the icing on the cake is that the platform aligns with MITRE ATT&CK. That alignment makes our jobs much easier and saves time and effort as everything is automated.”

  • 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.
