GLESEC Security Testing and Validation Services is a managed service offering that combines security assessments, penetration testing, and breach and attack simulation (BAS) to identify and remediate gaps in IT and security architectures. The service is structured around continuous validation of security controls in live environments, targeting misconfigurations and ineffective tooling that can create undetected vulnerabilities. Rather than offering standalone tools, GLESEC delivers these capabilities as a fully managed service, where their experts guide clients through remediation steps after gaps are identified. Key service components include: - Managed Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS): Continuously validates the effectiveness of security controls such as WAFs, EDR, DLP, and email/browser controls by simulating real threats in the client's live environment. - Security Assessments: Evaluates the overall security posture and IT architecture to uncover weaknesses. - Penetration Testing: Identifies exploitable vulnerabilities across applications, data, assets, and infrastructure. The BAS component specifically covers: email controls, browser controls, WAF, DLP tools, EDR, user awareness, lateral movement, and immediate/emerging threats. The service targets organizations seeking to meet regulatory and compliance requirements, reduce cyber risk, and build resilience against attacks. GLESEC operates via a managed model, handling most security operations on behalf of clients based on pre-agreed rules of engagement, including incident response support.
