Security Control Validation

Are Your Security Controls Operating as Intended?

Despite years of investment, security leaders struggle to answer the basic questions of “Are we exposed?” and “Where are my biggest gaps?”. The answers become more uncertain when faced with the daily evolution of threats and digital transformation projects that adopt new technologies, migrate applications to the cloud, and integrate internal systems with supply chain partners.

Testing and proving cyber resilience are especially challenging for smaller teams that outsource security operations or rely on managed service providers. With or without a managed service, security leaders struggle to:

• Test controls against the latest emerging threats
• Know the current state of their cyber program – both strengths and weaknesses
• Prioritize resources and investments to optimize existing controls or implement new technologies

Continuously Validate and Optimize Security Controls

Security operations leaders must constantly validate the effectiveness of their security controls against the latest emergent threats facing their organization.

The Cymulate Exposure Management Platform automates production-safe breach and attack simulations for offensive testing that continuously validates security controls using the latest threat tactics and real-world attack techniques.

The results of these assessments highlight the gaps and weaknesses in your security defenses and provide you with remediation guidance to tune and optimize your controls. As a SaaS solution designed for simple and fast deployments, the Cymulate security control validation solution enables organizations to fortify their cyber defenses, reduce their exposure to cyber threats and prove their state of cyber resilience.

Automated Security Control Validation

The Cymulate Exposure Management Platform provides automated security control validation using breach and attack simulations to assess the effectiveness of critical security controls and identify weaknesses that could expose you to the latest threats facing your industry.

Automate continuous testing

Cymulate includes pre-packaged templates and advanced attack scenarios to both validate individual security controls and test the security stack against full kill-chain attacks and malicious behaviors used by well-known threat actor APT groups.

• Comprehensive testing across critical security controls
• Daily updates to test controls against the latest threats
• AI-powered custom assessment generation using community threat intelligence articles
• Integrations with leading security vendor solutions for SIEM, SOAR, GRC, EDR, firewall and ticketing systems
• Create custom attack scenarios with chained test executions to simulate sophisticated threats to your environment

Optimize controls before the next cyber attack

For every identified control weakness, Cymulate provides the insights, guidance and automation to harden defenses.

• Actionable reporting and findings provide proof of breach feasibility and guidance for risk prioritization
• Mitigation guidance with specific policy tuning and customized detection rules that can be directly applied to controls
• Push control updates including the latest indicators of compromise (IOCs)
• Rerun assessments to validate updated controls are now operating as intended

Detect drift and baseline security posture

With ongoing automated testing, Cymulate identifies changes to the environment and provides proof of the current state of cyber resilience.

• Security control dashboards and MITRE ATT&CK heatmaps highlighting strengths, weaknesses and exposure levels
• Technical and executive level reports provide proof and evidence of security posture
• Achieve cyber resilience compliance for industry standards like PCI-DSS and DORA
• Identify drift in security control configurations and changes to environment that impact security posture
• Industry benchmarking to compare security effectiveness to peers
