Continuous attack simulations have improved real-world threat detection and response skills
The best features AttackIQ offers include being a cybersecurity platform specializing in breach attack simulation and AEF validation, as it tests the organization's defenses by simulating real-world attack behavior, which are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a platform where I can run real-world attack scenarios and identify and mitigate them. AttackIQ is well-aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and has strong continuous validation. The platform is built to run continuous and automation tests, which helps during point-in-time checks or reduces blind spots. AttackIQ positively impacts my organization as most of my colleagues and seniors have been using it to understand real-world attack scenarios and how to cope with those situations, benefiting the company, colleagues, and team. 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. It has definitely benefited the organization in terms of faster risk identification and faster response times.
