Automated Security Validation for SIEM

Cymulate uses breach and attack simulations to test and optimize the effectiveness of your SIEM detection rules. The automated security validation simulates different types of attack scenarios and high-privileged activities that should generate detections within your SIEM from:

• Immediate threats
• Endpoint threats
• Cloud and container threats
• Assume breach (high-privilege) threats
• Other persistent threats

SIEM Validation

Solution Features:
SIEM Validation

Breach and attack simulation automates production-safe testing that validates SIEM deployments for both the visibility of log collection and analysis that produces actionable alerts. MITRE ATT&CK heatmaps enable visualization of threat coverage.

Use pre-existing templates to test for detections within your SIEM. Build custom attacks from a library of more than 2,000 common attack techniques or user-supplied executions, files and Sigma rules.

Review detailed findings that provide deep insight into the detection results, attack techniques, alerts and events triggered, with suggestions and mitigation guidelines for more accurate detection rules.

Mitigate detection gaps with Cymulate-generated Sigma rules and translation to your specific SIEM integration that can be directly applied to your SIEM.

Reduce exposure risk

Continuously measure and improve your SIEM detections to reduce the risk of a cyber incident.

What our customers say about us

Organizations across all industries choose Cymulate for automated security validation, proactively confirming that defenses are robust and reliable-before an attack occurs.

“When we create a new detection rule in our SIEM that we can’t validate with historical logs, we use Cymulate assessments to generate the appropriate events and see if the rule was successful in its detection. The immediate feedback is useful when fine-tuning our SIEM and practicing detection engineering.”

Markus Flatscher, Senior Security Manager

“Automated mitigation of threats added to the capability of security control validation is just an out of the park feature of Cymulate which enables us to minimize risk on the go.”

Senior Physical Design Engineer, Services Industry

“Cymulate allows for continuous and automated testing, which helps organizations stay ahead of evolving threats without much manual intervention.”

IT Security and Risk Management, Construction Industry

“Cymulate provides an easy and elegant method to demonstrate the risk associated with any security controls or policies.”
