Validate Zero Trust Through Continuous Security Testing
Test identity enforcement, segmentation, and automation controls to ensure your Zero Trust implementation performs under pressure.
Turn Zero Trust Strategy Into Proven Security Outcomes
AttackIQ enables continuous, automated testing to confirm that your Zero Trust architecture holds up against active threat techniques.
The Old Way Zero Trust by Configuration
- Policies deployed, but never tested
- Segmentation rules assumed to block lateral movement
- MFA and device trust configured once
- Tabletop exercises and design reviews
- No metrics for Zero Trust maturity
The AttackIQ Way Zero Trust by Validation
Continuously simulate adversary behavior to validate enforcement
- Emulate traversal techniques to confirm real-world isolation
- Validate against credential abuse and device evasion regularly
- Run production-safe attack scenarios to expose hidden gaps
- Track measurable progress aligned to ZTMM and real control performance
Validate All 7 Pillars of Zero Trust Security
AttackIQ emulates adversary behavior to test every pillar of the Department of Defense Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) so you can prove controls are doing what they’re designed to do.
User
Verify that identity controls, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and access policies detect and block credential abuse and account compromise.
Device
Assess Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) effectiveness and test endpoint posture by simulating device-based attacks and policy evasion.
Network / Environment
Validate segmentation by testing lateral movement prevention and encrypted traffic enforcement.
Application & Workload
Emulate exploitation of internal services, APIs, and workloads to confirm runtime protections and interface hardening.
Data
Run exfiltration attempts to test encryption, data loss prevention, and data classification enforcement across endpoints and cloud.
Visibility & Analytics
Confirm that detection rules, SIEMs, and behavioral analytics surface real threats with actionable context.
Automation & Orchestration
Test your SOAR workflows, containment logic, and playbook execution using safe, simulated attacks.
How MITRE ATT&CK Powers Zero Trust Validation
AttackIQ uses the MITRE ATT&CK framework to align every test with known adversary behavior—so your Zero Trust validation reflects how attackers actually operate.
- Map testing to techniques like credential abuse, lateral movement, and data exfiltration
- Understand which controls block, detect, or miss known attack paths
- Align Zero Trust maturity with threat-informed defense principles
Maximize ROI and Strengthen Zero Trust Execution
Validate controls proactively, reduce operational overhead, and drive measurable improvements in your security performance.
- Block unauthorized access by continuously validating identity and access controls
- Uncover enforcement gaps across segmentation, data, and automation layers
- Eliminate manual testing with scalable, automated adversary emulation
- Track maturity and ROI with test-backed metrics aligned to ZTMM outcomes

Zero Trust FAQ
Can we validate Zero Trust controls in production environments?
Yes. AttackIQ uses safe, non-disruptive techniques to emulate adversary behavior without affecting users, systems, or data. You can validate access enforcement, segmentation, and response workflows in live environments with confidence.
Do we need a dedicated Zero Trust team to use this?
No. AttackIQ enables existing security and architecture teams to operationalize Zero Trust validation without requiring new org structures. Our platform supports collaboration across red, blue, and purple teams to test identity, device, and segmentation controls.
How does this support the DoD Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM)?
All testing is mapped to the seven ZTMM pillars—User, Device, Network/Environment, Application/Workload, Data, Visibility & Analytics, and Automation & Orchestration. Results help you track pillar maturity, identify enforcement gaps, and demonstrate measurable progress.
What if we’ve already implemented tools like MFA, EDR, and segmentation?
Zero Trust isn’t just about deploying tools—it’s about verifying they actually work. AttackIQ validates whether those controls block credential abuse, lateral movement, and data exfiltration as intended, so you’re not relying on configuration alone.
Can we measure Zero Trust maturity and report on progress?
Yes. AttackIQ Command Center centralizes validation results so you can track control effectiveness, visualize trends over time, and align metrics with ZTMM benchmarks and internal goals.
