Compare AttackIQ vs. Keysight Threat Simulator

AttackIQ offers a reliable, consistent, and secure method for customers to assess and confirm their security controls at scale within live environments. Unlike competitors who conduct assessments in isolated sandboxes, AttackIQ operates within production systems that mirror the full spectrum of the kill chain, replicating the tactics of actual adversaries. The platform transforms every system in your networks and cloud environments into potential test points. This is achieved at scale by integrating with your security controls and visibility platforms to gather concrete evidence. Through various scenarios, AttackIQ examines your controls, affirming their existence and effectiveness by employing the same techniques used by threat actors, allowing you to trust that your security measures function as planned. The insights generated by the AttackIQ platform cater to both technical personnel and executive leadership, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of security posture. By eliminating the "black box" nature of security programs and replacing guesswork with actionable intelligence, AttackIQ consistently delivers threat-informed knowledge through detailed reports and dynamic dashboards. This ongoing flow of information empowers organizations to adapt their security strategies proactively in the face of evolving threats.

Threat Simulator operates without direct interaction with your production servers or endpoints; rather, it utilizes isolated software endpoints throughout your network to securely assess your active security measures. Our malware and attack simulator, Dark Cloud, interfaces with these endpoints to rigorously evaluate your security framework by replicating the complete cyber kill chain, which includes phishing, user behavior, malware delivery, infection processes, command and control operations, and lateral movement tactics. As a frontrunner in application and security testing, our Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research Center ensures that Threat Simulator remains equipped with the most current threats. With a comprehensive database exceeding 50 million records, we analyze and catalog millions of new threats each month. Thanks to our ongoing updates from our threat feed, you can consistently emulate the most pertinent and pressing cyber security threats and attacks. Understanding and mitigating risks also requires a deep knowledge of potential adversaries. Thus, staying informed about emerging trends in cyber threats is crucial for effective defense strategies.
