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.

Security Challenges

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

  • Energy

    “With traditional penetration testing we could discover perhaps one way into the network, but with AttackIQ we’re given granular details on how various parts of an execution unfold using its attack graphs. This is much more beneficial to us as we can ensure our controls are effective across all dimensions of impact and it allows us to rapidly check our security posture against new, headline-grabbing threats and remediate where necessary.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    Overall, my experience with AttackIQ has been solid. It’s helped us continuously test and improve our defenses with realistic attack simulations. Platform is easy to use and integrates well with our existing tools, greatly improved our posture with automated testing.

    “When we are going to acquire a new company, we can use the AttackIQ platform in the due diligence process. Testing controls in the target company before the deal closes enables us to understand their security hygiene. Does it make sense to integrate our security systems, or should we plan on fully absorbing them into our infrastructure because their current environment is just too risky? AttackIQ helps us make those decisions.”

  • “One service option we offer is annual, quarterly, or monthly testing of the attack vectors that a customer is most concerned about. Such routine assessments would have been very difficult to offer in a manual pen testing environment. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform enables us to do more testing in less time and with fewer people. It is a win-win situation.”

    “What the Security Optimization Platform enables me to do is to demonstrate to our CISO, other senior leadership, and the board that we are doing the right thing. I’m not just saying it; I have evidence that proves it. I can run a test and show them exactly how our systems and teams respond. That capability is invaluable with an attack surface as broad and complex as ours.”

    Director of Security Operations

  • “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.”

    Co-founder and CEO

  • Retail

    “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.

    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.
