“I recommend AttackIQ for all the security teams out there. To keep up with threats that are constantly emerging, you have to be constantly testing. If you are a little bit sloppy, someone is going to take advantage of you. Test your key controls, act on that information, and test them again. That is the…
“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…
“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…
“We have fully integrated the AttackIQ platform into our penetration testing methodology. Because it is automated, we can test more scenarios in less time. That enables us to do thorough white box and gray box capabilities testing, as well as relevant tests targeted to a customer’s specific industry and geographic region.”
“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…
“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…
“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…
