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.

Explore the Platform

Proactively Manage Threat Exposure with CTEM + AEV

AEV puts CTEM into action—helping you uncover control failures, reduce exposure, and close security gaps before attackers can exploit them. The result is stronger defenses, lower risk, and improved operational performance.

    “We ran very intensive attacks to see how far they could get in the organization. Being able to roll out agents, then pull back and redeploy if needed, was the big selling point for AttackIQ.”

    “For the longest time, we didn’t have a purple team. It wasn’t until we got more into AttackIQ that I went to my manager and suggested the purple team approach. Since adopting the purple team approach, we have had a good cadence with the blue team, where we meet and share reports from the AttackIQ dashboard. We are way more engrained than we used to be before we had AttackIQ.”

    “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.”

    5 Star Review Overall experience with the product is great! The product has provided so much insight into our systems and has allowed improvement of overall security posture. Product can be in the high end in terms of pricing but it is money well spent! Regular updates of the attack library and the ability to customize it to your needs. Very simple to use.

    “AttackIQ enables us to be more strategic with our security investments. What should we implement next to drive down risk? Automation is a smarter way of answering that question than manual pen testing because it reduces the cost of testing and increases the thoroughness of assessments. It plays a crucial role in our security investment decisions”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “That’s what’s great about AttackIQ, it allows us to identify our biggest potential security control gaps and gives us the visibility we need to ensure our controls are up to scratch. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform is therefore a fundamental layer of our threat-informed defense.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • 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.
