Frequently Asked Questions

• Automation: BAS is fully automated, while other methods often rely on manual testing, point-in-time exercises, or human expertise. This allows BAS to provide more comprehensive, cost efficient, and frequent testing.
• Proactive assessment: BAS provides continuous, proactive evaluation of an organization’s security posture and incident response procedures.

SafeBreach automatically tests and validates security controls, helping security teams identify gaps against known and emerging threats. Teams can then prioritize remediation efforts in order to reduce overall business risk and optimize their cybersecurity posture. They can also track and manage posture over time, leveraging the SafeBreach platform to set baselines and identify macro- and micro-posture drift. 

SafeBreach safely simulates attacks across the cyber kill chain, including endpoint, network, cloud, web, application, and e-mail vectors. Host-level attacks can be carried out on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints.

Yes. SafeBreach is built upon a secure infrastructure paired with lightweight simulators. This ensures no production components are at risk during attack simulations while maintaining optimal system performance of production devices.

BAS is designed to be cross-functional, breaking down silos when it comes to assessing and mitigating cyber risk. Here’s how BAS can support the teams or roles within a security organization:

• Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs): BAS can help demonstrate security program effectiveness, justify new technologies, avoid compliance mistakes, manage budgets, and automate testing processes.
• Board Members and Executive Stakeholders: BAS can help provide an understanding of cyber risk, evaluate investment risks, determine resource allocation, and gain confidence in cybersecurity measures.
• Red, Blue, Purple, and Penetration Testing Teams: BAS can help automate testing, streamline processes, validate security control effectiveness, and refine attack methodologies.
• Detection Engineering Teams: BAS can help streamline processes, enhance alert pipeline visibility, and increase confidence in detection capabilities.
• Threat and Vulnerability Management Teams: BAS can help better leverage threat intelligence, identify critical vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediation efforts.
• Security Operations and Engineering: BAS can help validate SIEM and SOC capabilities, prevent security drift, and ensure proper configuration of security controls.

Yes, SafeBreach can be integrated with leading threat intelligence vendors including:  Recorded Future, Anomali, AlienVault, Unit42, CrowdStrike, ThreatConnect, ThreatQuotient, and others.

Yes, SafeBreach integrates with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP, enabling users to conduct attack simulations and security assessments across these platforms.

Using SafeBreach for cloud security assessments offers several key benefits, including:

• Ongoing validation of cloud security controls, so organizations can stay ahead of evolving threats.
• Simulation of sophisticated, multi-step attacks that can span entire cloud infrastructures.
• Operation in isolated environments, which keeps production systems secure and unaffected while still allowing for thorough testing of the full attack surface.

The SafeBreach BAS platform can be used to test incident response plans by simulating real-world attacks, allowing organizations to assess their response readiness, validate custom detections, identify weaknesses, and refine their response procedures.

The SafeBreach platform:

• Automatically tests and validates security controls using the industry’s most comprehensive threat playbook.
• Provides analysis to effectively communicate the security team’s efforts to stakeholders.
• Provides data that can be used to help understand and report on aspects of compliance and support regulatory frameworks.
• Assists in assessing inherited cybersecurity risks from mergers and acquisitions.
• Helps organizations evaluate risks before investing in security services, optimizing resource allocation.

SafeBreach was an early contributor to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and our Hacker’s Playbook boasts the widest MITRE ATT&CK coverage in the industry. The playbook contains over 30,000 breach methods, and is continuously updated with original attack content from our world-renowned research team and within 24 hours of US CERT and FBI Flash alerts.

Key benefits of using SafeBreach with the MITRE ATT&CK framework:

• Stay ahead with up-to-date attack playbooks
• Execute full kill-chain attacks for thorough analysis
• Visualize security posture based on threat intelligence
• Communicate risk exposure effectively using MITRE heatmaps
