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.

Has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal

While Zafran Security is already a powerful tool, there are areas where it could be further improved to provide even greater value. One key area for enhancement is the searching capabilities within its vulnerabilities module. By incorporating the ability to create Boolean searches, users would gain the ability to apply more complex filters and customize their search criteria. This would greatly enhance the precision and efficiency with which security teams can identify and prioritize vulnerabilities. Having such tailored search capabilities would save time and resources by narrowing down vast lists of vulnerabilities to those that meet specific parameters relevant to our unique risk environment. Additionally, integrating more robust reporting and visualization tools would be advantageous. Enhanced dashboards that offer customizable visual representations of risk configurations and threat landscapes would facilitate better communication with stakeholders, making it easier to explain vulnerabilities and the rationale behind certain security measures. This would also aid in demonstrating the improvements and value derived from existing security investments to leadership and non-technical team members.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Seemplicity really shines on that remediation component and being able to automate that workflow, and that's a gap where we could not find one of our existing technology partners to be able to fill that void."

"Seemplicity has a huge positive impact on our organization because once we have a vulnerability, it acts as a great assistant with its auto-mitigate feature, which can be used for a variety of different types of vulnerabilities, supporting our cybersecurity analysis."

"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."

"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."

"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."

"The biggest impact Seemplicity has had on my organization is turning what used to be a fragmented, manual process into something structured and accountable."

"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."

More Seemplicity pros

"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."

"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 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."

"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 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."

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"With Zafran Security, it integrates with your security controls, allowing you to take that risk score and reduce it based on the controls in place or increase the risk based on different factors, such as if the issue is internet reachable or if there's an exploit in the wild."

Cons

"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"As the account is growing, some of the dashboards are slowing down, so optimizing that could be one area for improvement."

"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."

"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."

More Seemplicity cons

"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
