Increasing cyber attacks and security vulnerabilities that may arise due to updates and changes you make to your systems expose you to new threats and risks every day. Constantly evolving technologies increase the operational efficiency of organizations, but at the same time pave the way for cyber threats to evolve. This situation makes it imperative for businesses to be prepared for the ever-changing threat environment. Implementing a robust security approach in your organization is critical to ensuring that your business is not negatively impacted.
The BAS (Breach and Attack Simulation) solution simulates various real-world cyber attacks to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your security infrastructure and provides detailed reporting capabilities. This enables you to prioritize and fix security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers, through rapid risk assessments.
BAS solutions produce valuable insights for businesses of all sizes with their user-friendly features. With automated simulations, it helps to continuously evaluate your cybersecurity infrastructure and improve your overall security posture. In addition, the detailed reports provided at the end of each simulation offer decision-makers a clear roadmap on issues such as which vulnerabilities are a priority, how they can be closed, and the level of risk. With these solutions, you can manage your cyber risks end-to-end, avoid identified risks, and maximize the benefits of your security investments.
BAS provides risk visibility for security infrastructures through Simulation, Assessment, and Improvement processes.
How does BAS work?
Simulation – Simulate possible attacks
Simulated attacks mimic real-world threats such as malware attacks, phishing attacks, and ransomware attacks, making vulnerabilities in your company visible.
Assessment – Be aware of your risks
With ready-to-use assessments that include different content such as vulnerabilities, risks, and attack surfaces, it helps you review your security resilience. Detection and response gaps are reported to identify areas where your defense controls need to be strengthened.
Improvement – Close your security gaps
Based on simulation and assessment results, it provides actionable remediation and improvement recommendations to close security gaps created by potential threats. This accelerates the resolution of identified vulnerabilities and strengthens your security controls against the latest threats.
Security Validation Areas
Email Attack Vector
Tests email security controls. It simulates attacks by sending emails filled with attachments containing ransomware or links to malicious websites. This tests whether such attacks can bypass the organization's first line of defense and reach employees' inboxes.
Web Attack Vector
Simulates employee access to malicious websites. It provides the ability to verify the effectiveness of web security through tests conducted over HTTP and HTTPS on a controlled endpoint in a live environment.
Endpoint Controls
Tests endpoints against signature-based attacks, lateral movement, and MITRE ATT&CK methods and commands. It ensures that configuration-related errors are eliminated and security is optimized.
Lateral Movement Scenarios
Simulates lateral movement attempts by cyber attackers to access critical data within the organization. Reports on the details of the methods used and the endpoints affected.
Data Leakage Scenarios
Optimizes the organization's resistance to potential data leaks by performing tests that challenge existing DLP rules.
Threat Library
Thanks to the constantly updated threat library, your controls are tested using the latest attack techniques. Newly discovered attack vectors are added to simulations in a short time.
Full Kill Chain Scenario
Tests the effectiveness of security control configurations and detection and response tools throughout the Full Kill Chain process and provides a full-scale APT attack simulation. Ready-made APT attack templates can be used as is or customized.
Detection & Prevention Validation
During simulations, your defense tools are validated to see if they can detect and prevent these attacks based on log data. Detection and response gaps are clearly reported, identifying where your security controls need to be strengthened.
Ready-made Remediation Content
Provides applicable signature and rule sets for identified gaps. Signatures compatible with IPS/IDS, EDR, or firewall devices enable security teams to take quick action and continuously strengthen defenses against current threats.
