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.

    “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.”

  • “When we met AttackIQ, the game changed. We liked the flow of the AttackIQ platform, we liked the idea and the framework, and as soon as they showed us the platform, we were comfortable with it. Because it is so easy to launch an attack within the Security Optimization Platform, we can very quickly run these batches of attacks to understand whether there are any control gaps in the infrastructure. In one case, we developed an attack to test an aspect of the data loss prevention [DLP] system that one of our customers was running. Initial development of that assessment took a month. But now, we can replicate this same assessment in a couple of minutes.”

    “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.”

    “A big benefit of AttackIQ is that the platform works across both Windows and Linux servers, giving us broad coverage. The insights from AttackIQ help us show clients where in the kill chain they are most vulnerable and how they can shift left to identify malicious behavior more rapidly.”

    “Running any test manually is going to take weeks and weeks to complete across our thousands of locations globally. With AttackIQ, my team can spend a day building, testing, and validating the assessment, then push it out whenever and wherever we need it. This drastically improves the scalability of our testing regime.

    “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.”

    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 of our goals is to run standard tests across all the environments and regions we operate in. We want to know that all our stores have the same security, regardless of where they’re located. “Because testing in the Security Optimization Platform is programmatic, the tests are done in the same way on every system in every country, on every continent. If I run the test today, next week, and then again four years from now, the results will be comparable, apples to apples, unless we have purposely changed something. The Security Optimization Platform doesn’t just enable us to execute at scale; it also enables us to execute consistently at scale, which is something we couldn’t do without underlying technology.”

    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.

  • “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.”

    “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.”

    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.
