The ins and outs of threat emulation

Traditional security testing often provides only a static snapshot of an organization’s defenses, relying primarily on what-if scenarios and vulnerability scanners to identify potential weaknesses. While these methods provide some value, they often fail to simulate the dynamic and evolving tactics used by real-world adversaries.

Threat emulation, on the other hand, takes a realistic approach to assessing an organization’s security posture. This advanced testing methodology goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s overall defense strategy. By emulating attacker behaviors, security teams can prioritize mitigation efforts, optimize resource allocation, and make more informed decisions regarding cybersecurity investments. Essentially, threat emulation allows organizations to bridge the gap between their current security posture and the level of protection required to thwart modern cyberattacks.
