Prove the Threat, Improve Resilience
Exposure management without the context of validation is just old-school vulnerability management. To build true threat resilience, cybersecurity teams must build exposure management programs that integrates discovery and validation.
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
Validation Made Easy with Automation and AI
Cymulate combines the best of adversarial exposure validation with breach and attack simulation (BAS) and continuous automated red teaming (CART) to prove threat resilience with empirical evidence that can only come from live, offensive testing.
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.
Measure and Benchmark Threat Resilience
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
Exposure Prioritization: Focus on the Exploitable
Cymulate applies the proof of your threat resilience to prioritize the exposures that are actually exploitable. By integrating with vulnerability scanners and other exposure discovery tools, Cymulate aggregates exposures and then stack ranks them based on validated exposure scoring that considers:
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
Optimize Threat Resilience with Actionable and Automated Mitigation
Because threat resilience requires continuous evolution to stay ahead of the next threat, Cymulate provides actionable and automated threat mitigation. Cymulate findings include remediation guidance and mitigation that includes:
Automated security control updates to update prevention for new threats
Custom detection rules directly applied to endpoint security, SIEM and XDR
Recommended configuration changes
Why choose Cymulate over exposure management without validation?
Put the T in CTEM
Unlike other exposure management, Cymulate includes best-in-class exposure validation for automated threat assessments with advanced testing across the full kill chain and MITRE ATT&CK.
Prioritize What’s Exploitable for You
Go beyond basic prioritization and threat intel to stack rank exposures with the full context of compensating controls with validated prevention and detection for a true state of what’s exploitable for you.
Build Threat Informed Defense
Break down the operational silos of exposure discovery, red teaming and security operations to build threat resilience for known gaps and active threats — before you suffer the attack.
