Adversarial Emulation

Adversarial emulation is a cybersecurity technique that involves simulating real-world cyber attacks and threat actors in a controlled and safe environment to test an organization's security defenses. This emulation aims to mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by actual adversaries to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the organization's systems, networks, and applications. By replicating these adversarial behaviors, security teams can gain valuable insights into their defensive capabilities, response readiness, and areas that require improvement. Adversarial emulation is crucial in proactive cybersecurity testing and helps organizations enhance their resilience against sophisticated cyber threats.

The intelligence gathered from the ThreatNG External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings solution, particularly from its Sentiment and Financials module, significantly aids Adversarial Emulation. It enables realistic threat actor impersonation, tailors attack simulations based on public perception and financial data, facilitates targeted social engineering, enhances scenario replication, and allows risk-based prioritization. By incorporating this data, Adversarial Emulation becomes more accurate, relevant, and reflective of real-world cyber threats, empowering organizations to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities, leading to a stronger and more resilient cybersecurity posture.
