AttackIQ

AttackIQ provides an Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) platform that helps security teams continuously test and validate their defenses against real-world attack scenarios. Founded in 2014, the company pioneered the Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) category and has evolved to focus on comprehensive exposure management. The platform automates production-safe testing aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to support Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). It emulates adversary behaviors to identify how attackers can move through environments, where defensive controls fail, and which exposures present the most risk. The system tests controls across hybrid and cloud environments, validates security coverage and compensating controls, and provides data to prioritize exposure reduction efforts. AttackIQ serves Fortune 500 enterprises, federal agencies, and managed security service providers (MSSPs). The platform moves beyond testing individual security controls to deliver insights that support risk-informed decision-making and strategic planning. Organizations use it to understand gaps across people, processes, and technology, and to validate whether their security configurations and safeguards perform as intended in production environments. The company is a founding member of the Center for Threat-Informed Defense, a research organization operated by MITRE Engenuity. AttackIQ also operates the AttackIQ Academy, offering free cybersecurity training courses, and hosts the Purple Hats Conference focused on collaborative red and blue team approaches to threat-informed defense.
