BAS is a process that allows businesses to simulate cyberattacks on their systems and networks to identify weaknesses in their security posture. BAS helps organizations proactively identify and address security issues before an attack occurs. It also ensures they are better prepared to defend against real-world threats.
Vulnerability scans list vulnerabilities found in an organization’s environment and prioritize them based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) rather than the vulnerability’s exploitability in the organization’s specific environment. Cymulate BAS continuously provides organizations the visibility on how well their security controls prevent vulnerabilities from being exploited. This allows companies to create a risk-reduction action plan based on prioritization. Cymulate’s simulated and emulated attacks complement severity with exploitability and account for the effectiveness of compensating security controls in an environment.
Cymulate BAS provides organizations with comprehensive security control validation. The modular solution addresses a wide variety of business and technical use cases. Security professionals leverage Cymulate’s insights to prioritize and reduce cyber risk, justify investments, provide proof of security resilience to management and boards, and for compliance and regulatory programs. Additionally, companies that utilize Cymulate BAS, CART (Continuous Automated Red Teaming), and ASM (Attack Surface Management) gain visibility into the full spectrum of their organizations’ exposure and breach feasibility—with one consolidated platform.

Cymulate Exposure Validation applies industry-leading BAS to launch attack scenarios to discover security gaps and assess the layers of an organization’s security stack. It is cloud-based, providing continuous updates that enable customers to test new threats as they emerge. Deployment is quick and easy, with assessments launched directly from the cloud and some requiring a lightweight agent that serves as a proxy, minimizing installation and maintenance efforts.
Every organization, regardless of size or industry, can benefit from a BAS solution. Cybersecurity threats are prevalent across all sectors and implementing a BAS solution can help companies identify and address weaknesses in security controls and exploitable vulnerabilities in their security infrastructure before they are exploited by attackers. It is recommended to find a consolidated platform that covers many use cases and can scale and adapt to an organization’s evolving security needs as it progresses in its cyber maturity.
Cloud environments use a multi-layered architecture that includes applications, containers / Kubernetes, cloud workloads and cloud infrastructure. Cymulate BAS and BAS Advanced Scenarios can be used for automated security validation of your cloud runtime environment.
Cymulate BAS has specific automated security validation assessments for the following attack vectors:
The Cymulate Attack Scenario Workbench provides the capability to create custom attack simulations specific to your environment.
Traditional penetration testing services typically involve a one-time assessment of an organization’s security posture. Cymulate BAS provides ongoing, continuous assessments that simulate various real-world attack scenarios on specific security controls. This allows businesses to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in real-time rather than waiting for an annual or bi-annual assessment.
