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.

Continuous validation has transformed our SOC and now proves control effectiveness with evidence
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. The breach and attack simulation that supports testing, prevention, detection, and response is a key feature for me, as is the ongoing exposure management, rather than a one-time security assessment. AttackIQ's reporting helps translate technical findings into actionable remediation steps, which are easy to understand. The continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations is a massive advantage for me. Once properly implemented, AttackIQ becomes a valuable part of a continuous validation program. The one feature I rely on the most from AttackIQ is specifically the continuous validation of security controls through repeatable attack simulations. From the reporting that stands out, once you have the report, the translation from a technical finding perspective and how they align with actionable remediation steps is easy to understand, which helps significantly. From a SOC perspective, AttackIQ running in our SOC is a solid enterprise-grade platform delivering genuine operational value. The biggest strength for me is the realism, its alignment with all the compliance situations we might have, and the ability to continuously validate control effectiveness. By doing that, we can continuously provide feedback to our customers to ensure they are running the best of breed for their security posture and environment. AttackIQ is best viewed as a tool that helps a SOC move from assumption-based security to evidence-based security, while providing reporting that can easily be communicated in layman's terms to your customer base. It is most effective for teams that want to prove their controls work, identify gaps early, and continuously improve rather than just rely on periodic testing alone.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Seemplicity offers include the aggregation logic, the way it is simplified to view and access, and the ability to have a view in a simpler way."
"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."
"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."
"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 has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to provide a single viewpoint into vulnerability management and pen testing for our customers."
"When we started with Seemplicity, we saw an 85% reduction in the number of tickets through deduplication, and that is significant for our teams who are swamped with issues."
"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 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."
"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."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"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."
"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"The Vulnerability and Risk Management feature is valuable to us for keeping the security posture up-to-date and conducting regular continuous audits."
"This solution is amazing! The most important part is the way it gives access information to the entire infrastructure, the network most importantly."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"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."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
 

Cons

"Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time."
"The capability out of the box today is decent, but over time, if we can allow users and organizations to build their own view and how they want to report on things, that would be a great value add."
"Seemplicity could be improved with some of the aggregation accessibility. Currently, it is a bit of a black box and can be a bit of a bottleneck."
"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."
"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."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."
"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."
"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."
"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"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."
"The network mapping/visualization could be improved significantly."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
