Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) & Security Control Validation
Without this solution, organizations face the following challenges:
Security Controls May Fail Without IT Team Awareness
Security controls may fail to operate optimally without the knowledge of the IT team, leading to vulnerabilities.
Security Gaps Discovered After a Real Incident
Companies only realize security gaps after a real incident occurs, making it harder to protect sensitive information.
Challenges in Measuring Security Solution Effectiveness
Measuring the effectiveness of implemented security solutions is difficult, making it hard to assess their true value.
Regulatory Compliance Verification Challenges
Compliance with regulations such as ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS cannot be objectively verified due to lack of early detection mechanisms.
Key Features & Capabilities
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) & Security Control Validation tests defenses by simulating real attacks.
Show Details
a. Automated Attack Simulations & Continuous Security Testing
- Simulating real-world attacks, including phishing, ransomware, APT, and zero-day exploits.
- Conducting continuous security testing without disrupting business operations.
b. Security Control Validation & Gap Analysis
- Testing the effectiveness of firewalls, endpoint protection, SIEM, XDR, and other security solutions.
- Comparing simulation results with security frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK & NIST.
c. Advanced Attack Path Mapping & Threat Modeling
- Analyzing potential attack paths hackers might use to infiltrate systems.
- Using global threat intelligence data to identify the most relevant threats.
d. Compliance Readiness & Security Performance Scoring
- Helping organizations ensure compliance with ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and other regulations.
- Providing security scores based on the effectiveness of the tested controls.
e. Integration with SIEM, SOAR, & XDR for Continuous Improvement
- Providing data-driven security insights to enhance threat detection in SIEM/XDR.
- Automating responses to identified security vulnerabilities.
Business Benefits
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) & Security Control Validation improve security by testing defenses regularly.

- Ensure national data protection with continuous security validation.
How It Works
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) & Security Control Validation assess and strengthen defenses.
Show Details
a. Simulated Attack Deployment
- The system simulates various types of attacks such as phishing, zero-day exploits, or lateral movement within the network.
- Testing is conducted in a safe environment without disrupting business operations.
b. Security Control Validation & Automated Assessment
- Each security control is tested against actual attack techniques to measure its effectiveness.
- The system compares the results with security frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and other regulations.
c. Risk Prioritization & Automated Remediation
- Identifies the most critical vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
- Provides automatic recommendations to enhance security resilience.
d. Continuous Monitoring & SIEM/XDR Integration
- Data from attack simulations is sent to SIEM/XDR for further analysis.
- Organizations gain better real-time security insights.
