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.

Proactively Manage Threat Exposure with CTEM + AEV

AEV puts CTEM into action—helping you uncover control failures, reduce exposure, and close security gaps before attackers can exploit them. The result is stronger defenses, lower risk, and improved operational performance.

Validation

Prove Security Effectiveness

Conduct comprehensive validation tests to ensure your defenses withstand real-world threats. AttackIQ simulates adversary behavior to identify control failures, assess their impact on critical assets, and provide evidence-based insights to strengthen resilience.

    “It helps me provide detailed reports to the C-suite, the board, and auditors to create transparency around our return on investment as a corporate security function. There are still a lot of things that keep me up at night, but I am sleeping much better now than I did before we started working with AttackIQ.”

  • Fortune 50 Retailer

    “AttackIQ wasn’t just a tool, but a long-term partnership with the people at the company. Everyone I interacted with was great with customer service and knew the platform well, which was important to me. My interactions with the employees made it clear that AttackIQ was a good company I could trust. Anybody that wants to get ahead of the curve should invest in automation with a breach and attack simulation platform, like AttackIQ.”

    “We have fully integrated the AttackIQ platform into our penetration testing methodology. Because it is automated, we can test more scenarios in less time. That enables us to do thorough white box and gray box capabilities testing, as well as relevant tests targeted to a customer’s specific industry and geographic region.”

    “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.”

    “AttackIQ enables us to be more strategic with our security investments. What should we implement next to drive down risk? Automation is a smarter way of answering that question than manual pen testing because it reduces the cost of testing and increases the thoroughness of assessments. It plays a crucial role in our security investment decisions”

    “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 no intention to build a dedicated red team because we have AttackIQ in place. AttackIQ provides me and my team, broader knowledge of the landscape, and a platform we can leverage to simulate. That is huge. AttackIQ augments the need for a full-time red team or even outsourcing red team activities in the traditional, almost legacy sense these days,”

    “We’ve had a lot of success with the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform across client engagements, internal training, and also in identifying opportunities to further apply threat-informed defense in our own environment. These simulated attacks that are aligned to the organization’s customized threat model generates visibility into the effectiveness of their controls for a threat-informed defensive posture. The platform is an important tool for our business and a key component of our value proposition.”

  • “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.”

    “For example, if one group was blocking a UAC [user account control] bypass attempt, while other groups weren’t blocking it, we would talk to the teams to figure out what made the one group successful. The results of these narrower tests are actionable throughout the different business units.”

    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.
