About Cymulate

Cymulate is a security validation and exposure management platform that enables organizations to continuously test and improve their security posture against real-world threats. It provides automated attack simulation, threat validation, and security control optimization, allowing security teams to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The platform covers various vectors including network, email, web, endpoints, cloud, and more, leveraging a comprehensive attack library aligned with MITRE ATT&CK. With its agentic AI (Vero AI), Cymulate tailors assessments to each organization's environment and automatically prioritizes actionable insights. The platform integrates with 40+ security tools and enables automated mitigation, pushing updates to security controls to close gaps quickly. Cymulate helps organizations prove resilience, prioritize risks, and adapt defenses, supporting continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) initiatives.

Challenges It Solves

Security teams struggle to keep up with evolving threats due to manual testing and validation processes.
Organizations lack visibility into the effectiveness of their security controls against real-world attack techniques.
Remediation is slow because security teams are reactive, unable to prioritize based on actual exploitable risks.
Traditional red teaming and penetration testing are time-consuming and infrequent, leaving gaps between tests.

"Straightforward Automated Security Validation with Concrete Fixes"

It offers automated, ongoing security validation that effectively demonstrates real-world attack exposure and outlines the necessary remediation actions. However, limited customization and occasional false positives can hinder fine-tuning. It aids in identifying actual security gaps via continuous attack simulations, leading to quicker remediation and a more robust security posture.

"Cymulate: Robust Security Posture Assessment"

What I appreciate most about Cymulate is its intuitive interface, which simplifies setting up and managing continuous security validation across our environment. The platform delivers comprehensive attack simulations that spot vulnerabilities before they're exploited. The actionable insights and remediation steps are also valuable, helping our team prioritize and tackle critical risks promptly. The real-time reporting and diverse test modules—from phishing to lateral movement—make Cymulate a key asset in strengthening our security posture. On the downside, some advanced features are tricky to configure, and initial setup can be time-consuming for newcomers. Reports can sometimes be overly detailed, which might overwhelm beginners. Cymulate tackles the challenge of detecting security weaknesses before attackers do. It runs real-time tests and simulations to ensure our systems are protected against cyber threats, enabling fast fixes and reducing breach risk, thereby keeping our company and data safer.

"Testing Security with Cymulate"

The simulations are highly realistic and simple to run, allowing fast assessment of various attack vectors. The platform provides clear reports with remediation priorities, aiding decision-making. Its continuous approach bolsters security posture without disrupting operations. The initial learning curve can be steep if you're new to BAS. Some advanced simulations need technical tweaks or extra licenses. The Spanish reports could be more detailed. It would be beneficial to create dashboards with more meaningful KPIs. Cymulate is a BAS platform that enables ongoing evaluation of my organization's security controls' effectiveness. Through automated real-attack simulations—like phishing, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and exploit attempts—it offers a clear picture of exposure levels and prioritizes corrective measures. Its threat-intelligence-driven, continuous testing approach helps validate policies, uncover gaps, and enhance security posture proactively, all without impacting operations.

"Fast Onboarding with Cymulate and Responsive Support"

Getting started with Cymulate is quite speedy. Our account reps are highly communicative and check in regularly to answer queries and showcase new features. The dashboard is also user-friendly. The reporting capabilities aren't as seamless as the rest of the platform and lack the customization I'd prefer. It verifies our security controls and identifies gaps effectively.

"Live Security Assessment with Automated BAS 2.0 Tests"

This is an excellent tool for auditing our security solutions, offering real-time insights and the ability to automate assessments. With BAS 2.0, we can run a broader range of scenarios to test tool security. Overall, it's a solid product, though the support team can be somewhat slow with resolutions. It gives us visibility into all our security tools by assessing them, cutting down on manual testing effort.

"Ongoing Validation: A Huge Win for Security Managers"

Cymulate has enabled us to refine our SOC and SIEM, keep ahead of emerging threats, and foster resilient operations through its outstanding continuous validation. It also simplifies detecting configuration drifts in our dynamic infrastructure, which I consider vital—it's a genuine asset for any security leader. The advanced visibility and clear ROI proof give us the exact ammunition to present to the board. I've encountered zero issues with the product. It closes our security blind spots and catches those silent configuration drifts in our fast-evolving IT landscape. By constantly validating our environment, it directly improves our SOC and SIEM efficiency and builds strong resilience.

"User-Friendly Dashboards and Cutting-Edge AI Functionality"

The dashboards are straightforward, and the product is very intuitive. My only gripe is the recent dashboard modifications, though they're sensible. The new AI features and capabilities are powerful. It's been instrumental in evaluating our EDR and DLP solutions, helping us pick the most effective products with the strongest controls.

"Adaptable Scenario Attacks with Clear Remediation Advice"

The email and endpoint attacks can be tailored, and they're scenario-driven. The attack library is extensive with numerous attack types. These scenarios operate on a quick, cloud-based platform. The mitigation advice is thorough and straightforward. However, the reporting module feels a bit clunky and lacks depth. There are many modules to evaluate before making a purchase. Integration options are decent but come at an extra cost. For web attack scenarios, the guidance for web application firewalls is easy to follow. No need for additional servers or agents—just input your website, launch the attack, and monitor. The dashboards make it simple to confirm whether an attack has succeeded.

"Authentic Ongoing Security Checks Without Impacting Live Systems"

The standout feature for me is how it delivers genuine, continuous evaluations of our security stance while not interfering with production. It's straightforward and user-friendly, enabling us to run tests frequently and weave them into our regular security validation routine. Occasionally, we hit snags getting Cymulate fully operational due to our internal corporate rules and constraints. Cymulate assists us in solving the puzzle of our actual security posture by constantly testing how our defenses respond to realistic threat simulations. Instead of depending solely on theoretical risk assessments or vulnerability scores, it shows what's truly exploitable in our setup, which has greatly enhanced our remediation prioritization. It also fosters a proactive security mindset by allowing ongoing testing and iterative enhancements, rather than just periodic reviews.

"Extensive BAS Coverage and Effortless Deployment"

I rely on Cymulate for my BAS evaluations and value its knack for uncovering weaknesses or security holes that I can then fix. The breadth of the assessments is impressive, covering WAF, hopper, endpoint, and email gateway checks. It handles every area I require, and getting it running is a breeze thanks to the agent-based installation and the accompanying documentation. In my view, it's the top BAS solution out there, and I'd strongly recommend it. I'd like to see more AI-focused test scenarios incorporated. I apply Cymulate to spot and address security weaknesses across WAF, endpoint, email gateway, and web gateway systems.
