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.

  • “AttackIQ also stands out because even as it emulates the adversary in its testing process, we can be confident that if we attack a client’s production systems, we will not break their workflows. That is a problem for some pen testing tools.”

    “We might see, hypothetically, that we’re good on protecting against ‘initial foothold’ with a particular type of malware, but we are not doing well in protecting data on a certain type of device from being exfiltrated. We can use that information to understand what we need to change. Maybe we see that we are preventing the first five steps of the attack, so it’s unlikely that an attacker will get to the sixth step, where we might have a gap. Using the MITRE framework to break down attacks like this helps us decide where to invest additional resources.”

    “Our team is relatively small, so Vanguard will prove invaluable for us. With AttackIQ as our trusted partner, we can rest assured that we are getting the most out of the platform. We now can act according to what the intelligence tells us for a true, risk-based approach. And the icing on the cake is that the platform aligns with MITRE ATT&CK. That alignment makes our jobs much easier and saves time and effort as everything is automated.”

  • Biosciences

    “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.”

    “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.”

  • Biosciences

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “MITRE ATT&CK has been an enormous resource for us. We use it a lot with AttackIQ because we aren’t just concentrating on our EDR baselines. But there are known TTPs that specifically target similar industries to us. We use the MTIRE ATT&CK framework to determine what to go after and what to test next.”

    “At first it was difficult to maintain the cadence of operations as people took to their home offices. However, with AttackIQ, we had a platform that could continue the same levels of automated testing regardless of what was going on around it. That helped us establish a strong baseline and understand what was happening to key controls during this chaotic period.”

  • “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.”

    “After an aquisition, we immediately work to build visibility into their security systems and processes, we make sure their teams understand our standards for setting up a defensible architecture, and then we validate that they are following through.” He adds, “For companies doing M&As, it doesn’t make any sense to not use a technology like AttackIQ.”

  • “One of the attack flows that we are frequently asked to simulate is the full ransomware attack vector. We need to see whether ransomware is likely to get into the network via an email or web download. But we also need to see, if ransomware does get in, whether it can move laterally within the network. We run a series of simulations in AttackIQ, and when we sum the results of these separate assessments, we have the full attack vector.”

  • 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.
