Data Sheet

Cymulate Exposure Management Platform 

By integrating with assessment tools and continuously testing your defenses against the latest advanced threats and the full kill chain of attack techniques, the Cymulate Exposure Management Platform provides the insights and automation to:

  • Prove and optimize resilience to the most advanced cyber attacks
  • Accelerate detection engineering
  • Drive continuous threat exposure management
  • Measure and baseline security posture

The Cymulate platform includes automation to scale offensive testing and artificial intelligence-powered workflows that make advanced customized testing easy for every security team.

With a library of the most advanced attack actions, Cymulate provides templates for best practices and includes daily updates for new active threats and complex attack campaigns. To validate the threats that impact your organization, Cymulate applies AI to scope your testing based on critical factors such as industry threat actors, critical assets and team resources.

For more advanced custom testing, red teams rely on the attack scenario work bench to build and run complex, chained attacks. To build new custom testing in minutes, the Cymulate platform includes an AI-powered template creator that converts threat advisories, plain language commands and SIEM rules into custom testing that scales across systems and cloud deployments.

While automation makes validation a daily and weekly process, Cymulate provides the insights, heatmaps and dashboards for security leaders to measure their true state of threat resilience and teams to track their progress with metrics such as:

  • Threat prevention and detection
  • Coverage of MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques
  • Exposures mitigated with security controls
  • Proof and evidence of threat prevention and/or threat detection
  • Threat intelligence for known exploits, threat actors and active campaigns targeting your industry
  • Business context and asset criticality
