rThreat is a commercial threat simulation tool by rThreat. Prelude Security Control Validation is a commercial threat simulation tool by Prelude Security. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best threat simulation fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Security teams who need to validate that their detection stack actually works should use rThreat to simulate both known and zero-day threats against live controls. The platform tests antivirus, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and SIEM in one workflow, directly supporting NIST DE.CM continuous monitoring and DE.AE incident analysis, which means you're not just running tabletop exercises. Skip this if you're looking for a tool that also remediates findings or integrates deeply with your incident response platform; rThreat is built to expose gaps, not close them.
Prelude Security Control Validation
Mid-market and enterprise security teams running CrowdStrike need Prelude Security Control Validation to stop validating EDR effectiveness with ad-hoc red team exercises and actually measure it continuously. The platform maps every test to MITRE ATT&CK and auto-generates detection rules from gaps it finds, collapsing the feedback loop from months to days. Skip this if your organization lacks the SOC maturity to act on control validation data; Prelude surfaces problems faster than most teams can remediate them.
