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.

    “It was very technical reports like validating technical controls, almost like simulating an external or internal pentest on our critical systems like firewalls and data repositories, endpoints, etc. It was a validation tool for us.”

  • “AttackIQ also stands out because even as it emulates the adversary in its testing process, we can be confident that if we attack a client’s production systems, we will not break their workflows. That is a problem for some pen testing tools.”

    “One of our goals is to run standard tests across all the environments and regions we operate in. We want to know that all our stores have the same security, regardless of where they’re located. “Because testing in the Security Optimization Platform is programmatic, the tests are done in the same way on every system in every country, on every continent. If I run the test today, next week, and then again four years from now, the results will be comparable, apples to apples, unless we have purposely changed something. The Security Optimization Platform doesn’t just enable us to execute at scale; it also enables us to execute consistently at scale, which is something we couldn’t do without underlying technology.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    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.

    “With other vendors I’ve dealt with in the past, I might submit a support case, and three weeks later I’m wondering whether anyone has read it. By contrast, my team will drop a message in the AttackIQ Slack channel, and more times than not, they’ll get a message within the hour saying, ‘Can you hop on a videoconference right now so I can help you fix it?’ That has been great.”

    “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,”

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • 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.
