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.

Real Impact for Real-World
Security Challenges

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

  • Energy

    “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.”

  • Insurance

    “Security teams that aren’t doing any control validation — any breach and attack simulation — have a serious gap in their visibility. Companies like ours, where different business units have different controls in place and maybe different security technologies, need insights into where each organization stacks up. Breach and attack simulation software is a good way to ensure that you’re well-positioned to respond to an actual attack.”

    “If we ever were to fall victim, the information coming out of these tests would help us understand whether the threat was real. Thanks to the Security Optimization Platform, we know what capabilities and policies we have, what’s allowed and not allowed in different parts of the company. So if something were to happen, we would know how to work our way through the incident.”

  • 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.”

    “AttackIQ gives us the ability to assess against our key threats, and that gives me the information I need to report to key stakeholders, such as the CIO or operations leads, that we are as secure as can be expected. Essentially, AttackIQ gives me the information I need to say with confidence that the programs and reporting we have in place are working to lower our cyber risk.”

  • “A couple of weeks ago, the Spanish division of a global company asked us to do a cybersecurity assessment across their 500 employees’ endpoints. Because of the Russian war and other current events, they wanted to make sure they had the right security infrastructure in place. We ran 74 specifically chosen scenarios (attacks) across five critical targets in under a week. With a manual pen test, in the best-case scenario, the tests would have taken us at least three weeks, plus another week to generate a report on the results.”

  • Energy

    “We need to know we have done enough to protect the business and the State’s electricity network from cyber threats. That means ensuring we have the right controls in place and that they are capable of helping us identify and respond to the most up-to-date and advanced threats. The value of AttackIQ is clear to see: a solution that allows us to detect advanced threats and show our controls are working, with ongoing posture validation replacing our expensive and limited penetration testing. As a Critical Infrastructure organization, the benefits of the approach are clear.”

    “Knowing that we can test our systems every week, and potentially every day, means we can be sure our controls are working as we would expect.”

    “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.”

  • Facility Management Services

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “Running any test manually is going to take weeks and weeks to complete across our thousands of locations globally. With AttackIQ, my team can spend a day building, testing, and validating the assessment, then push it out whenever and wherever we need it. This drastically improves the scalability of our testing regime.

  • 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.
