For years, adversary emulation and automated testing felt like something limited to more mature organizations. It was perceived to be for folks with massive budgets, lots of know-how or advanced security teams. That perception often left smaller organizations untested and vulnerable, from municipalities to small critical infrastructure owners and operators, and the results weren’t good. According to an Accenture study, 46% of cyberattacks are against small and medium-sized businesses.An untested world is a vulnerable world.
AttackIQ is proud to announce a revolution in testing. AttackIQ pioneered and leads the breach and attack simulation category and is revolutionizing the testing process with the introduction of a new series of products and managed service offerings. Testing is now available for everyone. And this expansion builds on a decade of success. The company’s enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) business has helped hundreds of companies across the global 2000 to conduct automated testing at scale, powered by MITRE ATT&CK.
