AttackIQ Platform

Continuously Validate Exposures.

The only Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) platform built to eliminate critical risk and operationalize CTEM at enterprise scale.

What is Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV)?

Beyond Traditional BAS

Adversarial Exposure Validation turns breach and attack simulation into an always-on validation engine. Using safe, production-ready scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, continuously tests your defenses to expose what attackers could exploit—before they do.

Beyond Point-in-Time Testing

Vulnerability scanners and penetration tests offer snapshots. AEV delivers real-time insight through persistent validation that maps attack paths, verifies controls, and prioritizes exposures that matter most to your business.

Beyond Reactive Security

AEV powers Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), transforming your security from reactive threat response to proactive prevention that builds resilience.

Exposure Validation Without Compromise

Continuously test what matters, when it matters using adversary-aligned, risk-informed validation across every control and every vector.

Find Exposures First

Discover attack paths and control failures before adversaries do through continuous, automated testing.

Fix Risks Strategically

Cut through the noise to prioritize threats that are both exploitable and impactful to your operations.

Fortify Controls Continuously

Strengthen your defenses with automated retesting that proves what works and improves what doesn’t.

Designed for Real-World Adversaries

See how adversaries move, what they can exploit, and whether your defenses can stop them—so you’re prepared for whatever’s next.

From Exposure Discovery to Operational Resilience

AEV is the operational core of your CTEM program, enabling continuous discovery, validation, prioritization, and remediation.

Prove Your Defenses Work Against Real Threats

Continuously assess your detection, prevention, and response capabilities using real-world adversary techniques. AttackIQ integrates with over 100 tools including SIEM, EDR, and SOAR to uncover blind spots, validate control performance, and identify critical gaps before attackers do.

Stay Ahead of Evolving Attack Methods

Security teams are overwhelmed by generic threat feeds and endless alerts. AttackIQ cuts through the noise by turning global and internal intelligence into tailored adversary emulations that reflect the threats most likely to target your organization. You get continuous, automated testing that helps your team focus on real risk, improve detection, and stay ahead of fast-changing adversaries.

Expose the Full Kill Chain Before It Happens

Reveal how adversaries can chain misconfigurations, excessive access, and vulnerabilities to reach critical assets. Visualize complete attack paths from initial foothold to lateral movement and privilege escalation.

Focus on What Attackers Can Actually Exploit

Move beyond CVSS scores to intelligence-based prioritization. AttackIQ combines threat intelligence, exploit likelihood, and business context to rank vulnerabilities based on actual risk to your organization.

Quantify Risk with Real Data

AttackIQ calculates risk using adversary behavior, asset importance, and business impact to deliver precise, continuously updated scores that show what’s at risk, why it matters, and how to reduce it.

Prioritize actions that drive measurable risk reduction
Align security efforts to business-critical assets and attack paths

Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) FAQs

Understanding AEV

How is AEV different from vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?

Traditional tools offer limited, point-in-time insights. AEV provides continuous validation using real adversary behaviors to uncover hidden exposures, verify control performance, and prioritize what attackers can truly exploit.

What’s the difference between AEV and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)?

While BAS platforms simulate common attack scenarios, AEV goes further—delivering persistent, adversary-aligned testing that operationalizes the entire exposure lifecycle, from discovery through remediation.

How does AEV support threat-informed defense?

AEV transforms threat intelligence into action by aligning testing to current adversary tactics. With curated scenarios and deep MITRE ATT&CK integration, it ensures defenses are validated against the threats that matter most.

Is AttackIQ recognized by MITRE ATT&CK?

Yes. AttackIQ is a founding research partner of the MITRE Center for Threat-Informed Defense and helped pioneer the operational use of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

How does AEV support the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework?

AEV operationalizes CTEM by unifying discovery, validation, prioritization, and remediation in one platform—delivering continuous insight and measurable progress across all five CTEM phases.

Platform Capabilities & Security

Is AEV safe to run in production environments?

Yes. AttackIQ’s AEV Platform is designed to run safely in live environments without disrupting business operations. Scenarios are thoroughly tested to avoid adverse impacts while accurately emulating attacker behavior.

How frequently are adversary behaviors and attack scenarios updated?

The platform is continuously updated with the latest tactics and techniques drawn from threat intelligence and our adversary research team—ensuring you’re testing against real-world threats, not outdated assumptions.

Business Value & ROI

Can AEV help with compliance or regulatory requirements?

Yes. AEV enhances your audit readiness and compliance posture by continuously validating control performance, documenting testing results, and aligning with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and ISO 27001.

What kind of ROI can I expect from implementing AEV?

Organizations using AttackIQ have reported measurable gains including breach cost reductions, SOC efficiency improvements, tool consolidation savings, and increased analyst productivity—all supported by platform metrics.

Deployment & Use Cases

Do I need agents to run AEV?

No. AttackIQ supports both agent-based and agentless deployments—giving you flexibility without complexity.

Who uses AEV in the organization?

Security operations, red and blue teams, CISOs, and risk managers all use AEV to validate defenses, reduce risk, and improve communication across stakeholders.

What are the main use cases for AEV?

AEV supports three primary strategic use cases: Optimize Defense, Prioritize and Reduce Exposures, and Scale Offensive Testing.

Example applications include:

Validating SIEM, EDR, and XDR detection and response
Benchmarking SOC readiness with simulated adversary behavior
Prioritizing exploitable vulnerabilities based on real-world risk
