Continuous Automated
Red Teaming (CART)
Accelerate and automate realistic offensive testing and remediate exposures before adversaries can exploit them.
Threats don’t wait for your next pen test.
Replace manual, infrequent red teaming and penetration tests with continuous automated offensive testing and exposure validation.
Custom attack chains
Build custom offensive testing to simulate the latest advanced threats.
Attack paths
Map attack paths to reveal exposed routes to reach critical assets.
Blast radius and impact
Safely execute lateral movement and test privilege escalation.
Continuous Automated Red Teaming Benefits
With automation and AI, Cymulate transforms red teaming from a periodic exercise into a continuous, proactive defense strategy. Cymulate scales advanced testing for active campaigns and custom threats that target users, systems and networks. Cymulate applies real-world techniques that validate attacks and threats across the adversary lifecycle.
Red Team at Scale with AI and Automation
Accelerate continuous automated red teaming (CART) with industry-leading technology: Breach and attack simulation (BAS), attack path discovery and custom attacks. Leverage AI-driven automation and the latest threat intelligence to automate production-safe, live-date adversary TTPs at scale. Prove where attackers are successful by validating controls across the entire kill chain and uncover hidden exposures.

Continuous Automated Red Teaming FAQs
Continuous automated red teaming (CART) adds automation and continuous testing to traditional red team exercises to validate entire attack paths from infiltration to actions on objectives. This proactive approach to security testing involves regularly simulating automated real-world attacks on an organization’s systems and applications. The simulations attempt to execute malicious actions by autonomously deploying attack techniques to advance further within the network.
Cymulate Exposure Validation delivers CART in its cloud-based platform and can be accessed through a web browser. Only one agent per environment is needed, eliminating the need for any on-premise installation. With automated network penetration testing, Cymulate Attack Path Discovery simulates attacks that can propagate within the network in search of critical information or assets. Cymulate allows for flexibility by testing any technique on any stage of the kill-chain independently as well as executing multi-staged chained attacks in an individual test.
BAS and CART are both important components of exposure management. While BAS focuses on specific attack techniques, such as phishing and malware delivery, to validate the effectiveness of security controls, CART is broader and tests the entire kill chain in a single assessment. CART simulates how attackers advance through the network from initial compromise to privilege escalation and lateral movement to identify specific chokepoints. Cymulate combines these two security assessment methods to continuously and automatically run realistic attacks to prove that organizations have the proper prevention and detection security controls.
Cymulate Exposure Validation provides reusable templates and over 100k attack scenarios for organizations to baseline and perform ongoing testing. Organizations are equipped to execute lateral movement assessments for enhanced visibility into security gaps. Cymulate Custom Attacks advances offensive testing by equipping security teams with user-friendly workbenches to easily create custom attacks or modify existing scenarios, from infiltration to actions on objectives. Cymulate Attack Path Discovery, a key component of CART, automatically maps how far an attacker can potentially move laterally in the network and what sensitive data is exposed to allow attackers to escalate privileges. The Cymulate phishing assessment capability allows organizations to quickly run internal campaigns to measure employee resilience against phishing attacks and identify training opportunities. With Cymulate, security teams can test more environments and more often, without increasing their staff.
Traditional penetration testing provides a one-time, point-in-time assessment of an organization’s security posture that can quickly become outdated and does not typically integrate with existing security technologies. Cymulate goes beyond this by continuously and automatically validating the entire attack chain from initial infiltration to actions on objectives. Unlike traditional penetration testing, Cymulate integrates with an organization’s security stack to measure their exposures and the effectiveness of security controls in mitigating threats. This allows businesses to identify and remediate exposures in real time to improve their threat resilience rather than waiting for an annual or bi-annual assessment.
With automation and AI-powered features, Cymulate enables red teams to easily run highly customizable simulations to increase operational efficiency, optimize security controls and improve threat resilience in a production-safe environment. Cymulate also provides blue teams a framework to improve adversarial skills on the job, increase collaboration, streamline detection engineering and improve time to mitigation. In the face of budget cuts and the shortage of security professionals, Cymulate enables security teams to maximize their impact and can also support purple teaming efforts.
