Cyber threat simulation: Measuring cyber resilience

Cybersecurity is never static. New cyber-attacks are constantly emerging, and configurations are rampant. The advancements in technology and its usage have not only connected people and businesses, but also brought vulnerabilities which can be exploited and are being exploited. Cyber-security breaches have become commonplace, which is alarming across organisations. This, along with rapid digitisation and regulatory norms, are driving the need for cyber-security.  As our reliance on data and interconnectivity grows, it is more important than ever to build strong resilience to cyber-attacks.

According to recent reports, there have been more than 3 lakh cyberattacks in India. ThreatSimulator, a breach and attack simulation (BAS), addresses the need for continuous, comprehensive and consistent assessment (or verification) to check the effectiveness of the security posture, obtain actionable remediation steps and defend against new ways of cyber-attacks and exploits.

The ThreatSimulator platform is built on more than 20 years of leadership in network security testing, having served and continuing to serve the security testing needs of industry majors, namely: Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, Palo Alto, Checkpoint, McAfee etc. The ongoing research of our Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) team ensures regular updates so that customers have access to the latest breach scenarios and threat simulations.
