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.

    “Now, we can automatically test something and get feedback within the AttackIQ. Nobody needs to check for alerts manually. We brought automated testing to different teams, like for our blue and networking teams, for networking segmentation.”

    “We have no intention to build a dedicated red team because we have AttackIQ in place. AttackIQ provides me and my team, broader knowledge of the landscape, and a platform we can leverage to simulate. That is huge. AttackIQ augments the need for a full-time red team or even outsourcing red team activities in the traditional, almost legacy sense these days,”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • “The ability to utilize our custom-built attacks was another thing we liked about the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform. It does not matter how many machines the customer wants to test. A largescale simulation takes one-fourth or one-fifth as much time as it would take if we were performing the assessments manually.”

    “We can produce a realistic attack, validate where controls are successful at detecting or preventing it, identify places where controls aren’t working, make sure the SOC and other teams are responding appropriately, and then make improvements where the tests indicate they’re needed. Bringing all those activities together into the same process is, in my opinion, the definition of Tier 1 purple teaming. I think we should focus more on being a purple team than either red or blue, and AttackIQ has been solving that problem for us from the outset.”

    “I was able to assure the other team that the infrastructure changes they wanted to make were a good idea from a security standpoint,” he continues. “And when my boss asked whether we’d signed off on the infrastructure changes, I didn’t just say, ‘Yes, they explained it all to me.’ I said, ‘Yes, and we have data, we have testing, we have validation that their changes make sense.’”

    “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 AttackIQ platform greatly accelerates the threat mitigation process. Instead of waiting a month for a penetration test to be completed, we can do it all in one combined workshop. It saves time and money. We saw the opportunity to automate and run all sorts of attacks and techniques through it. We knew we could dramatically improve visibility into our security effectiveness, and be more efficient with our team resources.”

    “We might see, hypothetically, that we’re good on protecting against ‘initial foothold’ with a particular type of malware, but we are not doing well in protecting data on a certain type of device from being exfiltrated. We can use that information to understand what we need to change. Maybe we see that we are preventing the first five steps of the attack, so it’s unlikely that an attacker will get to the sixth step, where we might have a gap. Using the MITRE framework to break down attacks like this helps us decide where to invest additional resources.”

    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.
