Vendor Information
AttackIQ Overview
AttackIQ Platform is an Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solution from AttackIQ, founded in 2013 (originally 2014) by Stephan Chenette (Co-Founder & CTO) and Rajesh Sharma (Co-Founder & Chief Architect), with Brett Galloway as CEO, and headquartered in Los Altos, CA, United States with additional offices in San Diego, CA and Santa Clara, CA. The company raised $108M in total funding across 7 rounds from investors including Atlantic Bridge, Index Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Telstra Ventures, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures (SAEV), Gaingels, and Qualcomm Ventures, with the last funding round in July 2021 ($44M Series C). AttackIQ pioneered the Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) category in 2014 with the industry's first commercial platform and is a founding research partner of the MITRE Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID).
The platform evolved from traditional BAS to comprehensive Adversarial Exposure Validation, providing continuous, automated security control validation aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and built to support Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). The platform features three core products: AttackIQ Flex (agentless, pay-as-you-go test-as-a-service), AttackIQ Ready! (fully managed BAS-as-a-Service with weekly/monthly automated validation), and AttackIQ Enterprise (comprehensive co-managed solution with customizable testing and expert guidance). Key differentiator is AVA, AttackIQ's AI-powered assistant that creates and tailors adversary scenarios, interprets threat intelligence, provides automated recommendations, and accelerates remediation with detection-rule validations. The platform delivers always-on, automated testing that eliminates point-in-time blind spots, verifying threats, controls, and attack paths across cloud, identity, and infrastructure without production disruption.
The solution is trusted by Fortune 50 companies, four of the Fortune 20, and government agencies worldwide, with over 60,000 students enrolled in the free AttackIQ Academy. The platform supports compliance validation for NIST 800-53, CMMC, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA, and cyber insurance requirements. Available through AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace with flexible deployment options including SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments. The company's commitment to the cybersecurity community is demonstrated through the free award-winning AttackIQ Academy, open Preactive Security Exchange, and partnership with MITRE Engenuity's Center for Threat-Informed Defense.
Key Capabilities
Standardized capabilities mapped to this product's security niche
Reports which simulated techniques triggered alerts in existing security controls and which did not, mapping undetected techniques to the specific control or detection rule that should have fired.
Provides specific detection rule recommendations, log source requirements, and control configuration changes for each identified gap: not just a list of undetected techniques.
Provides a shared workspace for red and blue teams to document technique execution, detection results, and remediation actions during concurrent exercises.
Simulates cloud-specific attack techniques: IAM privilege escalation, SSRF to metadata service, S3 bucket enumeration, cross-account role assumption.
Executes attack technique sequences on a scheduled or continuous basis against production controls, enabling detection of control drift between point-in-time assessments.
Number of MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques covered by the simulation library. Breadth determines how much of the attack lifecycle can be tested.
Executes simulations using non-destructive payloads and read-only techniques that cannot cause data loss, service disruption, or lateral damage in production environments.
