Automated Exposure Mitigation 

Go Beyond Validation to Mitigate Threat Exposure 

Security teams know they are in a daily race to stay ahead of advanced cyber threats. To harden defenses before the next attack, Cymulate delivers the insight and automation needed to continuously optimize prevention. With automated control updates based on validated threat exposure, organizations can maintain resilience against evolving threats. 

The Cymulate Exposure Management Platform is the trusted solution for continuously testing and validating security controls and policies. It leverages automated threat emulation powered by the latest threat intelligence, real-world vulnerability exploits and full coverage of MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.  

For identified security gaps, the Cymulate platform includes the option for automated exposure mitigation that pushes updates to security controls to block or detect the missed threat. Through the combination of threat validation and automated control updates, Cymulate automates the process of:

• Daily testing of new threats 
• Updating security controls to block validated threats 
• Proving threat resilience and the current state of security posture 

From Exposure to Mitigation with Immediate Prevention 

With a daily update of the latest threats, Cymulate closes the loop between validation and prevention by including the automated mitigation option for immediate control updates.

As Cymulate validates exposures and identifies security gaps, automated mitigation deploys targeted updates, pushing relevant indicators of compromise (IOCs), such as file hashes, registry keys and URLs directly to connected security controls. This process transforms validation into threat prevention while reducing your time to mitigate.

Cymulate integrates with our XDR to improve our threat detection and response. Cymulate automatically uploads critical threat data directly to our XDR to ensure that potential threats are identified and addressed quickly, without manual intervention.

How It Works

Cymulate streamlines the mitigation process with flexible options that cater to workflow and level of automation readiness. Whether teams prefer direct control or full automation, the platform’s mitigation methods ensure faster, safer and more efficient response to validated exposures. Once IOCs are pushed to the relevant controls, Cymulate can automatically retest those defenses to confirm that the mitigation is effective, providing immediate validation and proof of improved resilience.

Fix with a click
For targeted action, users can review individual findings and select specific mitigations to push directly to security controls. This option provides hands-on precision, enabling security teams to address critical exposures immediately while maintaining full oversight.

Bulk fix with a click
Aggregate mitigations from an assessment or multiple assessments to group recommended IOCs into a single bulk update. This approach is ideal for quickly updating defenses after broad validation tests or widespread threat simulations.

Auto-fix
For organizations seeking full automation, auto-fix allows predefined rules and parameters, such as time-based triggers, control types or mitigation categories, to govern automatic updates. This ensures continuous alignment between validation results and active defenses, keeping controls up to date with minimal manual effort and verifying each update through automated retesting.
