Breach and Attack Simulation

Validate your security controls with expert-led simulations that demonstrate effective defenses, exceeding automated tools.

Breach and Attack Simulation

What is Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)?

Continuous Security Validation Through Controlled Attack Scenarios

Security Testing That Matches Modern Threats

Traditional pentests provide snapshots in time. BAS provides ongoing validation.

Verify Defense Effectiveness

Don't guess if your controls work—measure their performance against real attack techniques.

MITRE ATT&CK Framework

Every simulation maps to documented adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Are Your Security Controls Actually Working?

Organizations spend heavily on firewalls, EDR, SIEM, and other security tools—but rarely know if they'll stop a real attack.

The Dangerous Assumptions

  • Your firewall blocks malicious traffic... or does it?
  • Your EDR detects ransomware... are you sure?
  • Your SIEM alerts on breaches... but does it really?
  • Your team responds effectively... have you tested them?

The Old Hacks Still Work

Raxis research shows that nearly one-fifth of attacks use vulnerabilities that are 8+ years old, and three out of four attacks exploit vulnerabilities from 2017 or earlier.

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 to Find Out

Breach and Attack Simulation validates whether your security technologies are working as intended before attackers exploit the gaps. 

Test From Every Perspective

BAS is a continuous and automated method for testing your defenses by safely simulating real cyberattacks in a controlled environment to uncover blind spots, misconfigurations, and policy gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We serve organizations of all sizes—from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises across all industries. Our approach scales to your environment.

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.
