From Simulation to Adversary-Informed Emulation

Most testing is static, reactive, or disconnected from how real attackers operate. Simulations approximate attack effects but adversary emulation replicates actual attacker behavior, step for step.

The Old WaySecurity Simulation

  • Point-in-time tests with synthetic scenarios that don’t reflect real behavior
  • Limited MITRE ATT&CK coverage with shallow technique context
  • CTI feeds that are hard to operationalize into realistic tests
  • No visibility into how exposures chain across the attack path

Operationalize MITRE ATT&CK for Real-World Defense Validation

AttackIQ transforms MITRE ATT&CK framework data into executable adversary emulation that validates your defenses with real-world attack behaviors.

Execute Real Techniques Continuously and Safely

Run adversary TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK in production without disrupting operations.
How it works
  • Executes 200+ techniques using real attacker commands and tools
  • Covers cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments
  • Uses scoped, read-only methods to ensure operational safety
  • Continuously updated with new techniques and threat behaviors

Build Scenarios That Mirror Real Adversaries

Create scalable, repeatable emulations based on known threat actors and attack paths.
How it works
  • Converts multi-step threat group behaviors into modular playbooks
  • Enables no-code design through a visual attack path builder
  • Maintains a curated library of threat actor emulations for immediate use
  • Supports custom emulation tailored to your unique environment and risks

Validate Defenses Across the Entire Kill Chain 

Test how adversaries move and where your controls fail across real attack paths.
How it works
  • Chains techniques into complete, end-to-end kill chains
  • Maps gaps with tactic, technique, and sub-technique precision 
  • Prioritizes exposures based on real-world exploitability, impact, and control gaps 
  • Visualizes coverage with heatmaps across the ATT&CK matrix

Measure Readiness and Drive Continuous Improvement

Turn findings into measurable action and prove security effectiveness over time.
How it works
  • Delivers structured results with ATT&CK IDs for threat hunting and detection tuning
  • Provides executive dashboards showing posture by tactic and control performance
  • Tracks remediation velocity and exposure reduction trends
  • Supports compliance, executive reporting, and security ROI measurement

Emulation Reveals What Simulation Misses 

Most tools simulate attack effects—triggering alerts or testing isolated controls. AttackIQ emulates attack behaviors—replicating how real adversaries move, chain techniques, and evade detection.

FAQs

Simulation creates synthetic, hypothetical attack scenarios that approximate what an adversary might do. Emulation recreates the exact techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) documented in MITRE ATT&CK as they were actually executed by real threat actors. AttackIQ performs true emulation—executing the same commands, using the same tools, and following the same methodologies that documented adversaries use. 

AttackIQ provides complete coverage of the MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise framework, including all 14 tactics and 200+ techniques with sub-technique precision. Every emulation scenario is directly mapped to specific ATT&CK techniques, allowing you to validate your defenses against the entire documented adversary playbook.

Yes, AttackIQ includes emulation scenarios for 160+ documented threat groups from MITRE ATT&CK, including APT28, APT29, FIN7, Lazarus Group, and many others. Each scenario replicates the exact techniques and procedures documented for that specific threat group, allowing you to test your defenses against real adversary behaviors.

MITRE ATT&CK mapping provides standardized, globally recognized terminology for security testing and reporting. This helps demonstrate due diligence to auditors, enables consistent communication with stakeholders, and provides measurable coverage metrics that align with industry frameworks and compliance requirements.

AttackIQ executes techniques using the actual commands, file paths, registry modifications, network communications, and tools documented in MITRE ATT&CK and threat intelligence reports. Rather than creating approximations, we replicate the exact adversary behaviors as they were observed and documented by security researchers and our own adversary research team.

AttackIQ continuously updates the platform to include new MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques as they are published. Our research team also adds emulation scenarios for newly documented threat groups and evolving adversary behaviors, ensuring your testing stays current with the threat landscape.
