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.

  • “One service option we offer is annual, quarterly, or monthly testing of the attack vectors that a customer is most concerned about. Such routine assessments would have been very difficult to offer in a manual pen testing environment. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform enables us to do more testing in less time and with fewer people. It is a win-win situation.”

    Overall experience with the product is great! The product has provided so much insight into our systems and has allowed improvement of overall security posture. Product can be in the high end in terms of pricing but it is money well spent! Regular updates of the attack library and the ability to customize it to your needs. Very simple to use.

    “I run AttackIQ on my systems every two weeks. The AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform is central to my routine testing process, checking vulnerabilities I know about and looking for new ones. AttackIQ gives us instantaneous results when a scenario has finished running. That means we find out about problems and get them fixed months sooner than when we were using an external red team. AttackIQ shrunk our response time for zero-day threats from days to hours. That has been really helpful to our business.”

    “We can produce a realistic attack, validate where controls are successful at detecting or preventing it, identify places where controls aren’t working, make sure the SOC and other teams are responding appropriately, and then make improvements where the tests indicate they’re needed. Bringing all those activities together into the same process is, in my opinion, the definition of Tier 1 purple teaming. I think we should focus more on being a purple team than either red or blue, and AttackIQ has been solving that problem for us from the outset.”

    “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.”

    “We built 150 custom scenarios in total, which was easy to do in the AttackIQ platform. Then we created simulations to run against our systems. From that, we came to conclusions about how likely that particular ransomware actor was to succeed in an attack.”

    “After an aquisition, we immediately work to build visibility into their security systems and processes, we make sure their teams understand our standards for setting up a defensible architecture, and then we validate that they are following through.” He adds, “For companies doing M&As, it doesn’t make any sense to not use a technology like AttackIQ.”

    “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.”

    “The ability to test scenarios that recently hit the news is a huge relief and extremely beneficial to know that your company is protected. We used AttackIQ’s scenarios for Log4j and the Ukrainian conflict. I’m always grateful that AttackIQ is in the war rooms at short notice. We can trust AttackIQ to share content from recent cyberthreats, and it’s awesome when these releases come out because I can tell people we already tested that.”

    “One of the other leading competitors had a vision of running tens of thousands of scenarios that are actual malware samples. That was a real pain for the people who had to resolve 20,000 alerts. And when you have that many different scenarios, you have to just look at the percentages. You might see 80% effectiveness in one area and think that seems pretty good, but the 20% of tests that weren’t successful might indicate critical gaps. It made a lot more sense to us to run scenarios that are much more targeted to our specific needs.”

    “We have a variety of controls with so many overlapping components that we have to question whether we are effectively protecting ourselves or we have a false sense of security. We might have controls X, Y, and Z, and a successful attack should be impossible because each of those controls should catch it. But with AttackIQ, we might find that none of the controls actually catches an attack we would expect them all to detect. In a lot of ways, the comprehensiveness and complexity of the security architecture we’ve built is driving our need for the AttackIQ tool — we need an external capability to see that what we expect to be protected is actually being protected.”

    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.
