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.

    5 Star Review 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.

    “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.”

    “Knowing that we can test our systems every week, and potentially every day, means we can be sure our controls are working as we would expect.”

    “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 gives us the ability to assess against our key threats, and that gives me the information I need to report to key stakeholders, such as the CIO or operations leads, that we are as secure as can be expected. Essentially, AttackIQ gives me the information I need to say with confidence that the programs and reporting we have in place are working to lower our cyber risk.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • “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.”

    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.
