Continuous Breach and Attack Simulation

Continuous Breach and Attack Simulation (CBAS) is a proactive methodology that continuously emulates real-world cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities across IT infrastructure. It mimics threat actor behaviors and highlights gaps in defenses before actual exploitation occurs.

CBAS offers proactive security, real-time vulnerability identification, improved incident response, and reduced data breach risk. It ensures continuous visibility into security effectiveness and system resilience.

CBAS programs typically include automated red teaming tools, vulnerability management systems, threat intelligence feeds, incident response capabilities, and continuous infrastructure monitoring with alert mechanisms.

Challenges include managing false positives, resource constraints, adapting to evolving threats, and addressing ethical concerns from simulating attacks that might impact operations if not carefully controlled.

Best practices involve prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities, using diverse simulation tools, integrating with existing security controls, training internal teams, and continuously updating the testing scope and tools.

CBAS relies on platforms like automated red teaming solutions, vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence services, and incident response tools to simulate attacks and measure response efficacy.

To address ethics in CBAS, organizations must ensure authorized testing, minimize operational impact, and communicate program goals clearly to stakeholders to avoid misunderstandings or disruptions.

ImmuniWeb® provides 24/7 CBAS with real-world attack emulation based on MITRE ATT&CK, zero false positives SLA, instant alerts, prioritized findings, and integrations with WAF, SIEM, and DevSecOps tools.

Benefits include always-on security testing, detection of advanced chained vulnerabilities, instant virtual patching, detailed reporting, and expert analyst support around the clock.

ImmuniWeb® continuously tests web apps and APIs using MITRE-based TTPs, confirms vulnerabilities, alerts in real time, and offers exportable results with seamless integration into your existing security workflows.
