Unified vulnerability data has reduced risk and currently cuts duplicate tools and license costs
Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time. I had to do some of that manually via manual reports, but Seemplicity already has a feature request for this. Seemplicity has done a pretty good job of keeping up with integrations. One gap that I identified and that Seemplicity is trying to fill now is having a complete end-to-end mapping. Seemplicity currently looks at the external attack surface using tools like Censys, and then looks at the internal side, examining what is in AWS and other clouds using CSPM. However, there is not anything that currently ties a property on the outside to a system on the inside, especially when you have additional security layers like web application firewalls that actually mitigate the risk.

Security automation has transformed incident investigations and now delivers faster, trusted responses
AttackIQ offers quick response and gathers more information so I could identify some compromise or incident compromise and perform some analysis. I love the feature for detection engineering, security control validations, zero trust, MITRE ATT&CK, third-party risk validation, and defense optimization. AttackIQ Ready! validations, AttackIQ Flex, and the Command Center help my workflow. For the governance and security of AttackIQ, I believe these surpass the standards of ISO and the NIST standard. Upon review, the optimizations and documentation of AttackIQ are great. The information is complete, and overall, it is awesome. For the accuracy and reliability of output, AttackIQ provides very great information, especially for every incident or request that has occurred. As I have experienced, it provided a great outcome, trustable results, and verified results. Overall, it is great and awesome. I am very happy and thankful for AttackIQ for providing this great application with complete platforms ready. The Enterprise, Command Center, operating system, and solution are great, covering detection engineering, compliance optimizations, defense optimizations, and security control validations. The at-scale offensive testing is great as well, along with red team augmentations, adversary emulation, reduced exposure, and vulnerability prioritization. The optimized defensive posture and especially the zero trust aspect make me very happy regarding AttackIQ, especially its MITRE ATT&CK integrations and third-party risk validations. That is overall awesome.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."
"We have seen improvements in remediation rates, as initially a lot of our metrics were in the red, but now all are in the green or yellow."
"Seemplicity is doing amazing work, and organizations were able to better meet their SLAs, better communicate to their leadership and executive level about the overall risk and exposure levels, and overall have a better understanding of what they are dealing with."
"Before we really struggled with meeting SLAs that were in place because we did not have the information we needed and there was too much back and forth, now we nearly have a perfect SLA meeting time."
"Seemplicity is helping us generate immense ROI in terms of helping secure our infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and understanding vulnerabilities that we really did not have a good process of understanding before."
"I think of Seemplicity as a fantastic company and a fantastic partner to work with."
"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."
"AttackIQ gave the customer visibility into threat areas they were previously unaware of, prompting them to manage those threats and their associated risks because if they don't know a relevant threat exists, they won't manage it, thus improving their understanding and approach to their threat attack surface."
"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."
"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."
"Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"From investigations and analysis that previously took four to eight hours, I can now complete them in about ten minutes because of the automations and orchestration."
"AttackIQ has had a positive impact on the organization, especially in the areas of continuous security validation, detection improvement, and overall defensive readiness, with highlights including improved visibility into detection gaps, stronger security controls validation, better SOC readiness, and faster detection engineering improvements, which are improvement areas we have implemented in our project using AttackIQ."
"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."
"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."
"RedSeal helps you prioritize and allocate your scarce human and capital resources where they have the biggest impact to protect your most-valuable digital assets."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"The most valuable feature I enjoy that is provided by this security analytics platform is the ability to measure resilience."
"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."
 

Cons

"Every tool, including Seemplicity, can improve, and I think it needs to further enhance its deduplication capabilities and understand how to integrate with more security tools, especially as new AI security tools emerge."
"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."
"My advice to others looking into using Seemplicity is to be aware that you will get more information from support than from the documents themselves, and it can take a bit of time after feeding in data to show meaningful results."
"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."
"There are some bits on the cleanliness of dashboarding and maybe a little bit on the reporting side, but not too much improvement needed as of now."
"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"For Seemplicity, I would say two things for improvement. First, reporting customization could go further because this industry is evolving; the CEO tries to get much information that they are looking for."
"Seemplicity can be improved because sometimes the rule setting can be a little complicated, and for instance, filtering out the criteria may not be useful at times, as it can be too complicated based on the business requirements."
"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."
"I rate AttackIQ an eight for now. I choose eight for the two remaining aspects that should involve process improvement and further improvements for AttackIQ."
"One area for improvement is the initial configuration complexity, which is very complex in the initial stage to configure the whole thing and integrate with the SOC, presenting a learning curve for organizations that are new to adversary emulation or continuous security validation, particularly concerning the initial setup scenario customization and workflow tuning."
"From a technical viewpoint regarding pricing, I've heard that the pricing point is around a couple of thousand dollars per test point, which is considered a bit high, but I understand that AttackIQ is willing to provide a better offer."
"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"There is room for improvement regarding customization and automation of reports."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"The network mapping/visualization could be improved significantly."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
