Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS)

Think You're Secure? Prove It.

BAS simulates real-world cyberattacks to test your defenses and uncover gaps across the attack kill chain—helping you fix issues before a real breach happens.

Don’t Wait for a Breach — Simulate One.

Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) empowers you to run safe, controlled cyberattack scenarios—replicating real-world tactics like those used by APTs and ransomware groups. It helps uncover blind spots, test your security controls, and prioritize fixes—before a real attacker finds them.

Our Breach & Attack Simulation Process

Gather intel on your environment to mimic how attackers identify potential entry points.

Execute safe simulations using real-world Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) based on frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.

Measure the effectiveness of your current controls and identify blind spots or failures in detection.

Deliver a detailed report with reproducible steps, attack path mapping, and prioritized remediation actions.

How BAS Helps Organizations

Evaluate & Improve Security Controls

Continuously assess the effectiveness of existing controls across the organization.

Test New Controls & Data Asset Security

Validate newly implemented controls and assess the protection of critical data.

Simulate Diverse Attack Paths Quickly

Replicate multiple real-world attack techniques within minutes to test resilience.

Automated & Continuous Monitoring

BAS provides an automated, repeatable way to monitor and enhance security posture regularly.

BAS Operational Model

Black Box Operational Model

Black Box Operational Model

Simulates attacks from an external threat actor with no internal knowledge—ideal for testing perimeter defenses and detection capabilities.

Black Box Operational Model

Assumed Breach Operational Model

Starts with the assumption that attackers are already inside the network—focusing on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and internal threat detection.

Simulated Cyber Kill Chain in BAS

Track the attacker’s journey — from initial reconnaissance to full operational impact — and validate your defenses at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions – Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS)

BAS is a security testing method that simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify gaps in your security defenses before attackers do.

While pen testing is often manual and point-in-time, BAS is automated, continuous, and designed to simulate full attack chains repeatedly.

Yes, BAS is designed to run in a non-disruptive manner. Simulations are controlled and do not cause actual harm to systems.

BAS platforms often align with MITRE ATT&CK, simulating tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real threat actors.

BAS helps validate your existing controls, improves incident response readiness, reduces risk exposure, and prioritizes remediation based on real threats.

It’s recommended to run BAS regularly—monthly or quarterly—or after major IT changes or deployments.

Yes, BAS platforms generate detailed reports that assist in compliance with standards like ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, and more.
