Breach and Attack
Simulation (BAS)
Comprehensive security validation, measurement, and
optimization for organizations of all sizes.
What is Breach and Attack Simulation?
Breach and Attack Simulation is the process of safely attempting threat activities (tactics,
techniques, and procedures) in production environments to validate security control effectiveness.

Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation
Identify Exposure to
Latest Active Threats
Continuous updates with new assessments for
current active and emerging threats
Validate Security
Architecture Against
APT Attacks
Test the full stack of cyber controls vs. simulated full
kill-chain APT attacks – from attack delivery to
exploitation and post-exploitation.
Security Control Validation
Security is built upon a layered defense that needs continuous testing to assess if controls are working effectively. Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation tests for detection and alerting on threats to confirm that controls are functioning correctly or if threats can evade them. Each vector is scored independently and aggregated for an overall risk score based on industry-standard frameworks.
Environments
The attack surface constantly changes, requiring organizations to plan for an react to these changes.
Cymulate provides extensive attack simulation and immediate threat testing across on-premises, cloud,
and hybrid infrastructure and supports a wide variety of operating systems.

Backed By the Industry
Cymulate Recognized as Top Innovation Leader
F&S recognized in their Frost RadarTM Global BAS, 2022 report
" As Euronext’s cybersecurity team, we know that cybersecurity is always a work in progress. Cymulate allows us to fill a gap that for a long time was not closed directly, but only indirectly with other security controls. We recommend anyone looking for a breach and attack simulation platform turn to Cymulate. "
Brinks
" I believe that no matter what is the team size we have, we will always have a backlog of projects and tasks. Cymulate helps us to prioritize them and focus on issues that carry the most risk for the business, this has increased our effectiveness, we aren’t wasting valuable resources. Furthermore, I can present to our executives a return on security investments by showing them how each project has reduced our risk score. "
" Many times, our CISO or senior members would come to security operations after reading about a new threat or APT group in the news, asking are we at risk? Cymulate enables us to answer quickly and confidently with the Immediate Threats module and attack simulations. "
