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.

    “We need to know we have done enough to protect the business and the State’s electricity network from cyber threats. That means ensuring we have the right controls in place and that they are capable of helping us identify and respond to the most up-to-date and advanced threats. The value of AttackIQ is clear to see: a solution that allows us to detect advanced threats and show our controls are working, with ongoing posture validation replacing our expensive and limited penetration testing. As a Critical Infrastructure organization, the benefits of the approach are clear.”

    “AttackIQ was really the best of breed. There was no question that it was the right choice for us after leveraging the free resources through the Academy. AttackIQ is invested in the community and expanding the knowledge to cybersecurity professionals. There’s much value and integrity in that. I look forward to this in partnerships. We leverage AttackIQ Academy as an onboarding process for new hires. Both current analysts have gone through every training module and certification. It’s a great training resource. Finding a solution like AttackIQ, where we can train our existing staff and augment the need for full-time red team practitioners on board, is huge.”

  • “When we met AttackIQ, the game changed. We liked the flow of the AttackIQ platform, we liked the idea and the framework, and as soon as they showed us the platform, we were comfortable with it. Because it is so easy to launch an attack within the Security Optimization Platform, we can very quickly run these batches of attacks to understand whether there are any control gaps in the infrastructure. In one case, we developed an attack to test an aspect of the data loss prevention [DLP] system that one of our customers was running. Initial development of that assessment took a month. But now, we can replicate this same assessment in a couple of minutes.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.’”

    “What the Security Optimization Platform enables me to do is demonstrate to our CISO, other senior leadership, and the board that we are doing the right thing. That is invaluable with an attack surface as broad and complex as ours.”

    “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 quickly communicate to our leadership what the risk level is.”

  • “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.”

    “AttackIQ has done wonders in terms of giving us a clear picture. One CISO responded to the results of a test and said, ‘I don’t believe this.’ We got some engineers to perform an independent validation and, sure enough, the AttackIQ results were correct. Having assessment data at my fingertips is very useful when I need to push a team to take certain actions.”

  • Defending Against Iranian Cyber Threats in the Wake of Operation Epic Fury 

    On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury (U.S.) and Operation Roaring Lion (Israel), a coordinated military and cyber campaign targeting Iranian military installations, IRGC leadership, and government infrastructure. U.S. Cyber Command was designated the “first mover,” with cyber operations beginning before any kinetic weapons were deployed. In the first 48 hours, U.S. and allied forces struck more than 1,250 targets across Iran, while Israel conducted what has been described as the largest cyberattack in history, collapsing Iran’s internet connectivity to 1-4% of normal levels through multi-layered attacks on BGP routing, DNS infrastructure, and SCADA/ICS systems.
