Breach & Attack Simulation Services
It takes more than tools. Our engineers run the intrusion by hand and show you whether your controls stopped it.
The Old Hacks Still Work
Attacks use vulnerabilities that are 8 or more years old

Part of Our Red Team
Integrated into every Raxis Red Team engagement, BAS delivers continuous, realistic attack simulations across cloud, APIs, networks, physical, and social vectors.
From Headline Fear to Hands On Proof
Stop doom-scrolling breach news. As a cornerstone of Raxis Red Team, BAS lets you witness a controlled breach firsthand, transforming hypothetical risks into executive-ready storyboards with redacted evidence and remediation guidance.
Continuous Protection
Managed via Raxis One, our Breach and Attack Simulation runs at regular intervals as part of Red Team exercises, preventing “test-prep syndrome” and maintaining urgency while ensuring compliance (PCI, SOC 2, HIPAA, and more).
Most BAS Vendors Offer Automated Software
Automated BAS tools rely heavily on AI and software to conduct tests, but they cannot replicate the creativity and adaptability of human attackers.
Don’t Wait for a Breach
Breach and Attack Simulation validates whether your security technologies are working as intended before attackers exploit the gaps.
Test From Every Perspective
BAS safely simulates real cyberattacks in a controlled environment to uncover blind spots, misconfigurations, and gaps in detection and response. At Raxis, an engineer drives every step.
Adaptive Thinking
Our experts think like attackers, adapting techniques to your specific environment.
Creative Exploitation
Real hackers find unexpected paths, our team replicates that creativity.
Business Context
We understand what matters to your organization and prioritize accordingly.
Validation Over Volume
We focus on exploitable vulnerabilities, not generating alert noise.

FAQ: Breach and Attack Simulation
What’s the difference between BAS and penetration testing?
BAS offers regular or continuous security validation focusing on control effectiveness, while penetration testing provides point-in-time assessments focused on finding vulnerabilities in specific systems. TechTarget Raxis uniquely combines both approaches, we provide continuous validation capabilities with expert penetration testers conducting the simulations.
Is BAS safe for production environments?
Yes. All attack simulations are conducted in controlled, non-destructive ways that don't disrupt operations. We coordinate closely with your team and can pause or stop testing instantly if needed.
How often should we conduct BAS?
It depends on your environment's change rate. Organizations with frequent changes benefit from continuous or quarterly BAS. More stable environments may conduct semi-annual or annual assessments. We can help determine the right frequency for your needs.
Can you test our specific security tools (Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, etc.)?
Absolutely. We test all major security platforms and can validate specific tools including EDR, firewall, SIEM, DLP, email security, and more. We provide vendor-specific tuning recommendations.
What if you find critical issues during testing?
We immediately alert you to critical findings so you can take action. Unlike automated tools that dump findings at the end, our human experts recognize when immediate notification is needed.
Do you only test technical controls?
No. We can test people (phishing simulation), processes (incident response), and technology (security tools). Our Purple Team BAS engagements specifically test your SOC's ability to detect and respond.
How is this different from automated BAS platforms?
Most BAS solutions are automated tools that run predetermined scenarios. Raxis uses real penetration testers who adapt their techniques, think creatively, and understand business context, just like real attackers do.
Can BAS help with compliance?
Yes. Our BAS reports provide compliance-ready documentation for PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other frameworks. We map findings to specific control requirements.
What size organizations do you work with?
We serve organizations of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises across all industries. Our approach scales to your environment.
How much does BAS cost?
Pricing varies based on scope, duration, and engagement type. Targeted assessments start around $10,000, while comprehensive or continuous BAS programs are customized. Contact us for a quote based on your specific needs.
