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.

  • Fortune 50 Retailer

    “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.”
    Lead Information Security Analyst, Offensive Security Group

  • “One of the attack flows that we are frequently asked to simulate is the full ransomware attack vector. We need to see whether ransomware is likely to get into the network via an email or web download. But we also need to see, if ransomware does get in, whether it can move laterally within the network. We run a series of simulations in AttackIQ, and when we sum the results of these separate assessments, we have the full attack vector.”

    5 Star Review “The journey we started was great because the AttackIQ staff were there to help us adopt the product as easily as possible. Definitely consider the use of AttackIQ, the insights and regular reporting it will provide will only benefit your organization.”

    “When we can prove that our solutions and controls are not just adequate, but they’re rock solid, there’s much value there. The investments in our firewalls, endpoint controls, and network security controls help build the program’s reputation and instill more confidence. Then when we go to the board for requesting a large sum of funding for maybe a new project, there are not as many questions.”

  • “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.”

  • Insurance

    “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.”

    “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.’”

    “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.”

    “We leveraged AttackIQ for breach and attack simulations against our incumbent XDR provider. There was cost saving involved because we were able to demonstrate that our existing solution was more effective than these much more expensive alternatives that came to the table with many promises. Based on our AttackIQ results, we could maintain that existing vendor relationship, and it’s been successful.”

    “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.”

    “When we use AttackIQ for training, we achieve greater visibility into our own cyber hygiene and countermeasures. That helps us further apply threat-informed defense internally, especially as adversary tradecraft evolves.”

    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.
