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.

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

  • Defense, Transportation

    “I recommend AttackIQ for all the security teams out there. To keep up with threats that are constantly emerging, you have to be constantly testing. If you are a little bit sloppy, someone is going to take advantage of you. Test your key controls, act on that information, and test them again. That is the only way to be prepared.”

    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.

    “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.”

    “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.

    “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.”

    Now, we can automatically test something and get feedback within the AttackIQ. Nobody needs to check for alerts manually. We brought automated testing to different teams, like for our blue and networking teams, for networking segmentation.

    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.

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “The partnership with AttackIQ has supercharged our cyber risk service offerings. The company offers an evergreen, out-of-the-box solution for threat emulation and automated breach and attack simulation that is fully integrated with MITRE ATT&CK. That means it’s easy for us to use, and that it’s always up to date with the latest in adversary techniques and threat behavior. None of the tools we used were integrated with MITRE ATT&CK, which made them time consuming to apply and analyze. The reporting was limited, and the overall usability of the system was inefficient.”

    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.
