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.

Explore the Platform

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.

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

    “AttackIQ gives us the ability to assess against our key threats, and that gives me the information I need to report to key stakeholders, such as the CIO or operations leads, that we are as secure as can be expected. Essentially, AttackIQ gives me the information I need to say with confidence that the programs and reporting we have in place are working to lower our cyber risk.”

    “With traditional penetration testing we could discover perhaps one way into the network, but with AttackIQ we’re given granular details on how various parts of an execution unfold using its attack graphs. This is much more beneficial to us as we can ensure our controls are effective across all dimensions of impact and it allows us to rapidly check our security posture against new, headline-grabbing threats and remediate where necessary.”

    “We ran very intensive attacks to see how far they could get in the organization. Being able to roll out agents, then pull back and redeploy if needed, was the big selling point for AttackIQ.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “Our initial intention is to ensure whatever endpoint security solution we have, that our technology stack is firing appropriately. That it’s catching when it’s supposed to catch, preventing what’s supposed to prevent. AttackIQ has allowed us to test and get a good picture of our EDR capabilities. I know AttackIQ is working as intended because the detections have increased. We are up around 30% for our detections.”

    “AttackIQ has done wonders in terms of giving us a clear picture. One CISO responded to the results of a test and said, ‘I don’t believe this.’ We got some engineers to perform an independent validation and, sure enough, the AttackIQ results were correct. Having assessment data at my fingertips is very useful when I need to push a team to take certain actions.”

    “AttackIQ is very good about keeping up-to-date as new exploits emerge. That is an important benefit of the platform: The scenarios are always being updated, and new scenarios are created very quickly anytime the external environment changes. Then we run scenarios that simulate the zero-day incident. We run those scenarios against our tools to see whether an attack might affect our environment or our customers. AttackIQ makes it easy to run these different kinds of tests, with a wide variety of scopes, to see how our other security tools handle the threats that we may be facing.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • MITRE ATT&CK For Dummies

    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.
