Cymulate's Web Gateway Validation solution uses breach and attack simulations to assess the efficacy of your secure web gateway. It automates the testing of web gateway controls and policies by simulating a wide range of inbound malicious files and outbound connections to malicious websites, helping organizations validate their defenses against the latest web-based threats.
The solution simulates both inbound and outbound web-based threats, including malicious payloads (files), file policies, malicious links, and URL category policies. This comprehensive approach ensures your web gateway is tested against the latest attack techniques used by threat actors.
Cymulate's Web Gateway Validation tests over 20,000 inbound malicious files and outbound malicious links using production-safe simulations, providing broad coverage of web-based threats.
Yes, Cymulate's Web Gateway Validation offers fully automated security validation, enabling continuous testing of web gateway controls and policies without manual intervention.
Cymulate delivers detailed findings and reports that measure your web gateway exposure level and penetration ratio of inbound malicious payloads and outbound malicious sites not blocked by the gateway. The platform also provides mitigation recommendations to help harden your web defenses against modern web-based attacks.
Cymulate provides guidance to configure and tune your web gateway controls, enabling you to block websites containing malicious content and reduce exposure risk. The platform continuously measures and improves your web gateway security controls to minimize the risk of phishing attacks and web-based threats.
Yes, Cymulate's Web Gateway Validation is designed to find gaps and weaknesses in your web gateway that could expose users to malicious content, enabling proactive remediation.
