Software-based offensive security that is automated and ongoing is called Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)
Similar to a red team exercise, breach and attack simulations make use of the actual attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by hackers
Cloud-based solutions from companies like SafeBreach, XM Cyber, and Cymulate make it simple to integrate BAS tools without having to install any additional hardware
BAS solutions, as a security control validation tool, assist organizations in identifying security gaps
BAS solutions, as a security control validation tool, assist organizations in identifying security gaps
Numerous attack scenarios, attack vectors, and attack paths are replicated by BAS solutions
BAS platforms simulate, evaluate, and validate the most recent attack techniques employed by malicious entities and advanced persistent threats (APTs)
BAS solutions can greatly strengthen an organization’s security posture, even though they aren’t meant to take the place of other cybersecurity protocols
Industry data suggests a growing trend toward the integration of attack surface management (ASM) and breach and attack simulation tools in the near future
