What is Threat-Informed Exposure Validation with Cymulate and Bitsight?

Threat-Informed Exposure Validation is a joint solution from Cymulate and Bitsight that enables organizations to prioritize, validate, and improve defenses against the adversaries most relevant to their environment. Bitsight provides threat intelligence to identify which attackers, TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), IoCs (Indicators of Compromise), and CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) matter most, while Cymulate validates whether security controls prevent and detect these threats. This closed-loop process helps teams move from broad threat awareness to targeted, evidence-based defense improvement. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How does the integration between Cymulate and Bitsight work?

The integration works by using Bitsight Threat Intelligence to prioritize validation around the adversaries, TTPs, IoCs, and CVEs most relevant to your organization. Cymulate Vero AI applies this threat profile to create custom assessments, validating whether your controls prevent and detect these threats. Remediation guidance, automated mitigation, and retesting confirm improvements. Validation results are sent back to Bitsight, enriching threat intelligence with live evidence. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

What are the main features of the Cymulate and Bitsight integration?

Main features include: Prioritization of threats using Bitsight intelligence Custom assessments in Cymulate reflecting relevant adversaries and techniques Validation of prevention and detection coverage Remediation guidance and automated mitigation Retesting to confirm improvements Feedback loop where validation results enrich Bitsight intelligence Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How does exposure validation help improve threat detection?

Exposure validation simulates real-world attacks and assesses the effectiveness of existing security controls. This process identifies gaps in detection capabilities, allowing organizations to enhance their threat detection mechanisms and respond more effectively to emerging threats. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How does Cymulate validate defenses against relevant adversary behavior using Bitsight?

Cymulate operationalizes Bitsight Threat Intelligence by focusing testing and validation workflows on the most relevant adversaries, campaigns, ransomware groups, APTs, TTPs, IoCs, and targeting trends. Cymulate Vero AI creates custom assessments based on the customer’s Bitsight threat profile, allowing security teams to analyze MITRE ATT&CK coverage, connect flagged techniques to adversary groups, and measure coverage against real-world attacker behavior. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

How does Cymulate close the loop between threat intelligence and exposure validation?

Cymulate integrates Bitsight's adversary intelligence with continuous exposure validation. Bitsight identifies the most active and relevant attackers, and Cymulate uses this information to prioritize testing, validate defense effectiveness, and guide teams to fix and retest the most critical gaps. Validation results are sent back to Bitsight, creating a closed feedback loop. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

Why is exposure validation important for vulnerability management?

Exposure validation is important for vulnerability management because it enables organizations to cut through vulnerability noise by validating, prioritizing, and focusing on real exploitable risks. This ensures that remediation efforts target vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk, rather than addressing every finding equally. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

Where can I watch a demonstration of Exposure Validation Made Easy?

You can watch the Exposure Validation Made Easy video for a demonstration of how Cymulate simplifies exposure validation. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

What business impact can organizations expect from using Cymulate and Bitsight integration?

Organizations using Cymulate and Bitsight integration can expect measurable improvements such as a 52% reduction in critical exposures, a 30% increase in threat prevention, a 3X increase in threat detection, and up to an 81% reduction in cyber risk within four months (as reported by Hertz Israel). These outcomes are achieved through continuous validation, prioritized remediation, and evidence-based reporting. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

View Solution Brief

Turn Threat Intelligence into Validated Defense Improvements

Cymulate and Bitsight create a closed loop between adversary intelligence and continuous exposure validation, helping teams focus on the attackers and threats most relevant to their organization. Cymulate then turns that insight into targeted testing, evidence-based remediation and retesting, so teams can prove and improve their defenses.

Focus on Relevant Threats

Bitsight Threat Intelligence helps prioritize validation around the adversaries, TTPs, IoCs and CVEs that matter most.

Prove Security Effectiveness

Targeted Cymulate assessments validate whether controls prevent and detect relevant attacker behavior.

Close Validated Gaps

Use Cymulate remediation, automated mitigation and retesting to turn validated exposure into measurable security improvement.

Benefits of Cymulate and
Bitsight Integration

Together, Cymulate and Bitsight Threat Intelligence help security teams move from broad threat awareness to targeted, evidence-based defense improvement.

Prioritize relevant threats

Focus validation on the adversaries, campaigns, techniques and indicators most relevant to the organization.

Validate real-world attacker behavior

Test defenses against the TTPs and IoCs used by active threat actors that target organizations like you.

Improve prevention and detection

Identify where controls fail to block or detect relevant threats and apply targeted improvements.
