Why We’re Leading the Market
Cymulate vs. BAS Platforms (AttackIQ, SafeBreach, Picus)
Cymulate delivers AI-driven, easy to deploy, continuously updated attack simulations with automated and actionable, vendor-specific remediation.
Capability
Cymulate
Breach & Attack Simulation
Simulation Engine
AI-powered attack simulation engine adapting to real-world threat behaviors
Scripted, static attack simulations with limited scope
Control integrations
Dynamic dashboards and reports including vendor-specific remediation (EDR Rules), Sigma rules and automated remediation
Generic recommendations without intelligent context and static reporting
Detection Optimization
AI-driven insights to tune and improve SIEM and detection rules
Basic reporting on detection status without optimization guidance
Threat Intelligence
Continuous validation informed by an AI-updated threat intelligence feed
Periodic, manual updates to threat libraries
Ease of use and deployment
Simple integration deployment without any need for dedicated servers or installation of collectors or field mapping work
Requires a dedicated integration server and heavy deployment per scenario queries
Cymulate vs. Automated Pen-Testing (Pentera, H3)
Automated pen-testing identifies vulnerabilities. Cymulate delivers continuous, safe and scalable adversarial simulation.
Capability
Cymulate
Automated Pen Testing
Approach
Continuous, threat-led validation of your entire security posture
Point-in-time vulnerability discovery
Prioritization
Threat-informed prioritization based on exploitability and kill chain context
Technical findings (CVSS) without business or threat context
Scope
Validates prevention & detection of internal and externals controls, not just vulnerabilities
Focuses on finding vulnerabilities and patching, doesn’t provide easy control-based remediation
Frequency
24/7 validation against the latest threats
Periodic scans, leaving gaps between assessments
Scale
Easy to scale to multiple environments like: Cloud, OS and services variety
Limited virtual appliance / laptop deployment with limited IP based scanning
Cymulate vs. Security Control Assessment Tools
Unlike security control assessments, Cymulate validates threats with production-safe attack simulation.
Capability
Cymulate
Automated Security Control Assessment
Validation Method
Threat-led validation using real-world attack simulations
Theoretical validation via configuration checks
Focus
Focuses on actual security outcomes and resilience to threats
Focuses on compliance and configuration hygiene
Intelligence
Driven by live threat intelligence to simulate what's happening now
Uses static, pre-defined rule sets for checks
Remediation
Provides threat-informed guidance to optimize controls
Flags misconfigurations without validating the fix
Use Case Fit
Exposure validation optimizes resilience by proving the threat with live-data testing
Security posture management for auditing configuration and policies
Cymulate vs. Traditional Vulnerability Management
Unlike vulnerability management, Cymulate validates threat exposure with production-safe attack simulation.
Capability
Cymulate
Vulnerability Management
Core Principle
Unique threat-led approach: validates exploitability of exposures
Vulnerability-led approach: assumes all vulnerabilities are equal risks
Context
Provides real-world threat context to a vulnerability
Lacks context on which vulnerabilities are actually being exploited
Validation
Continuously validates if you can be breached via an exposure
No validation; assumes a patch fixes the risk without proof
Efficiency
Focuses remediation on what's proven to be exploitable
Creates overwhelming patch backlogs with little prioritization
Use Case Fit
Build threat resilience to mitigate exposure with updated threat prevention and detection
Driven by compliance and GRC with policies of what to scan and patching SLAs
Cymulate vs. Red Teaming frameworks (Scythe, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike)
Cymulate delivers AI-driven, easy to deploy, continuously updated attack simulations with automated and actionable, vendor-specific remediation – unlike red team tools that only focus on testing without a path to improvement.
Capability
Cymulate
Pen-Testing Frameworks
Ease of Use
Automated simulations, easy deployment, no specialized expertise required
Require high manual effort, deep expertise, and continuous tuning
Scalability
Runs thousands of scenarios on demand, across environments, repeatable at scale
Limited scalability, designed for point-in-time red team engagements
Reporting & Dashboards
Rich dashboards with actionable insights, vendor-specific remediation, and integration with detection tools
No native reporting or dashboards, raw outputs only
Detection Validation
AI-driven detection optimization and integration with SIEM/EDR/SOC workflows
No built-in validation or integration with detection technologies
Use Case Fit
Optimized for continuous SOC improvement, detection validation, and exposure management
Optimized for red team operators testing security teams, not for day-to-day SOC
