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.

  • Retail

    “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 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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “We have a good way to go with the maturity of the AttackIQ platform. Being a relatively small team, we still need to balance out our red, blue, and purple team exercises with daily operation responsibilities. But it is the platform we leverage for a better understanding of the network and overall security posture. AttackIQ provides supporting documentation and evidence that we are doing what we say we are.”

    “We ran very intensive attacks to see how far they could get in the organization. Being able to roll out agents, then pull back and redeploy if needed, was the big selling point for AttackIQ.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.'”

    “It did produce a good result for the company. First, in retaining our existing insurance, where the premiums continue to go up, and the market is very tight. Second, we had threats of losing our insurance without demonstrating adequate controls at a minimum annually. You must answer truthfully to the best of your knowledge and not put yourself at risk by answering incorrectly. We leveraged the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform to find the answer we were looking for, and to either share or have that documented in case of a breach, and we were held accountable for those responses.”

    “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.”

    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.
