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.

Security Challenges

From Fortune 500 companies to mid-sized enterprises, organizations across industries trust us to keep them resilient.

    “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.”

    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.

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.’”

    “For the longest time, we didn’t have a purple team. It wasn’t until we got more into AttackIQ that I went to my manager and suggested the purple team approach. Since adopting the purple team approach, we have had a good cadence with the blue team, where we meet and share reports from the AttackIQ dashboard. We are way more engrained than we used to be before we had AttackIQ.”

    “If we ever were to fall victim, the information coming out of these tests would help us understand whether the threat was real. Thanks to the Security Optimization Platform, we know what capabilities and policies we have, what’s allowed and not allowed in different parts of the company. So if something were to happen, we would know how to work our way through the incident.”

    “The AttackIQ platform greatly accelerates the threat mitigation process. Instead of waiting a month for a penetration test to be completed, we can do it all in one combined workshop. It saves time and money. We saw the opportunity to automate and run all sorts of attacks and techniques through it. We knew we could dramatically improve visibility into our security effectiveness, and be more efficient with our team resources.”

    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.
