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.

    “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.”

    “We leveraged AttackIQ for breach and attack simulations against our incumbent XDR provider. There was cost saving involved because we were able to demonstrate that our existing solution was more effective than these much more expensive alternatives that came to the table with many promises. Based on our AttackIQ results, we could maintain that existing vendor relationship, and it’s been successful.”

    “We’ve had a lot of success with the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform across client engagements, internal training, and also in identifying opportunities to further apply threat-informed defense in our own environment. These simulated attacks that are aligned to the organization’s customized threat model generates visibility into the effectiveness of their controls for a threat-informed defensive posture. The platform is an important tool for our business and a key component of our value proposition.”

    “I run AttackIQ on my systems every two weeks. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform is central to my routine testing process, checking vulnerabilities I know about and looking for new ones. AttackIQ gives us instantaneous results when a scenario has finished running. That means we find out about problems and get them fixed months sooner than when we were using an external red team. AttackIQ shrunk our response time for zero-day threats from days to hours. That has been really helpful to our business.”

    “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.”

    “It’s a great platform to mature your security program very quickly, especially in a tight industry where you may not have the budget to expand and grow your program as quickly as you’d like through FTE expansion and adding additional analysts.”

  • “When we met AttackIQ, the game changed. We liked the flow of the AttackIQ platform, we liked the idea and the framework, and as soon as they showed us the platform, we were comfortable with it. Because it is so easy to launch an attack within the Security Optimization Platform, we can very quickly run these batches of attacks to understand whether there are any control gaps in the infrastructure. In one case, we developed an attack to test an aspect of the data loss prevention [DLP] system that one of our customers was running. Initial development of that assessment took a month. But now, we can replicate this same assessment in a couple of minutes.”

    “AttackIQ was really the best of breed. There was no question that it was the right choice for us after leveraging the free resources through the Academy. AttackIQ is invested in the community and expanding the knowledge to cybersecurity professionals. There’s much value and integrity in that. I look forward to this in partnerships. We leverage AttackIQ Academy as an onboarding process for new hires. Both current analysts have gone through every training module and certification. It’s a great training resource. Finding a solution like AttackIQ, where we can train our existing staff and augment the need for full-time red team practitioners on board, is huge.”

    “We have a good way to go with the maturity of the AttackIQ platform. Being a relatively small team, we still need to balance out our red, blue, and purple team exercises with daily operation responsibilities. But it is the platform we leverage for a better understanding of the network and overall security posture. AttackIQ provides supporting documentation and evidence that we are doing what we say we are.”

    “The third-party testers used to take their sweet time,” says the security tester. “We would have to wait a couple of months for their report. Then we would meet with them to get their recommendations. We would remediate whatever particular vulnerabilities they uncovered, but then we would have to wait until their next engagement to confirm that the fix was fully effective. That entire process takes much less time with AttackIQ.”

    “AttackIQ wasn’t just a tool, but a long-term partnership with the people at the company. Everyone I interacted with was great with customer service and knew the platform well, which was important to me. My interactions with the employees made it clear that AttackIQ was a good company I could trust. Anybody that wants to get ahead of the curve should invest in automation with a breach and attack simulation platform, like AttackIQ.”

    “After an aquisition, we immediately work to build visibility into their security systems and processes, we make sure their teams understand our standards for setting up a defensible architecture, and then we validate that they are following through.” He adds, “For companies doing M&As, it doesn’t make any sense to not use a technology like AttackIQ.”

    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.
