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.

  • “Even before working with AttackIQ, we were basing our pen testing decisions and our metrics on the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The tight integration of MITRE ATT&CK principles into the Security Optimization Platform is one of the things we liked about AttackIQ from the beginning.”

  • Biosciences

    “It’s a great platform to mature your security program very quickly, especially in a tight industry where you may not have the budget to expand and grow your program as quickly as you’d like through FTE expansion and adding additional analysts.”

  • Defense, Transportation

    “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 come to us, I can send a message to our customers telling them, ‘This new attack is happening, but don’t worry: We are already up to date.'”

  • Insurance

    “They might think they’ve successfully closed a control gap. We can prove whether that’s true; we don’t have to take their word for it. Without AttackIQ, it would be possible for my team to do that, but it would be extremely time-consuming. They would have to reach out to the end user support team, get a machine on the network in question, then run the attack and see whether it succeeds. With Attack IQ, we just push a button to re-run the test that revealed the problem in the first place.”

  • Defense, Transportation

    “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.”

    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.

    “That’s what’s great about AttackIQ, it allows us to identify our biggest potential security control gaps and gives us the visibility we need to ensure our controls are up to scratch. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform is therefore a fundamental layer of our threat-informed defense.”

    “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.”

  • Biosciences

    “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.”

    Director of IT Security
    Leading Biosciences Company Demonstrates Security Control Effectiveness and Reduces Insurance Premiums Using AttackIQ

  • Security

    “A big benefit of AttackIQ is that the platform works across both Windows and Linux servers, giving us broad coverage. The insights from AttackIQ help us show clients where in the kill chain they are most vulnerable and how they can shift left to identify malicious behavior more rapidly.”

    “It’s a huge opportunity for us and other companies to get these tools in your hands that are exponentially more expensive to put in place through traditional means. Breach and attack simulation with AttackIQ is our best investment in maturing our program. Going from having no security program to now reporting to the board quarterly, having actionable intelligence, and auditable reporting to validate that our controls are doing what we say they do. One, it helps us from a budget perspective because it instills confidence in the board that we are investing our dollars wisely and getting the results we promised. For example, I’ll take the LokiLoker ransomware outbreak, simulate that attack, and tell the board that we could show you exactly what would happen if we were to be attacked with that ransomware, and here’s how effectively we are at preventing it. I did get a promotion after this. I went from senior manager to a director-level position.”

  • 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.
