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.

    5 Star Review 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.

  • “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.”

    “It’s a huge opportunity for us and other companies to get these tools in your hands that are exponentially more expensive to put in place through traditional means. Breach and attack simulation with AttackIQ is our best investment in maturing our program. Going from having no security program to now reporting to the board quarterly, having actionable intelligence, and auditable reporting to validate that our controls are doing what we say they do. One, it helps us from a budget perspective because it instills confidence in the board that we are investing our dollars wisely and getting the results we promised. For example, I’ll take the LokiLoker ransomware outbreak, simulate that attack, and tell the board that we could show you exactly what would happen if we were to be attacked with that ransomware, and here’s how effectively we are at preventing it. I did get a promotion after this. I went from senior manager to a director-level position.”

    “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.”

    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.

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “What the Security Optimization Platform enables me to do is demonstrate to our CISO, other senior leadership, and the board that we are doing the right thing. That is invaluable with an attack surface as broad and complex as ours.”

    “Throughout the year, we’re continuously performing control validation tests. The results from these tests are automatically sent out to the CISOs and our SecOps team which gives us instant visibility into the gaps in our preventative and detective controls. If our systems don’t prevent an attack, or even alert on it, we can take appropriate action.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    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.
