AttackIQ is a cybersecurity company focused on Adversarial Exposure Validation, using production-safe adversary emulation to help organizations continuously test whether their defenses actually work. Founded in 2014, AttackIQ has evolved from breach and attack simulation into a broader platform for operationalizing Continuous Threat Exposure Management, connecting validation, prioritization, and remediation around real-world attacker behavior.
AttackIQ helps security teams move from point-in-time testing to ongoing measurement of control effectiveness across people, processes, and technology. Its platform is built to show which exposures are truly exploitable, where attack paths exist, and how teams can improve readiness with evidence rather than assumptions.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
AttackIQ delivers continuous validation across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and SaaS environments. Its capabilities span adversary emulation, attack path analysis, control validation, threat-informed prioritization, remediation guidance, retesting, and executive reporting aligned to operational risk reduction.
The platform is designed to support different operating models, from self-service testing to managed validation and centralized governance. AttackIQ also provides advisory and optimization services that help organizations operationalize CTEM, improve threat-informed defense maturity, and strengthen detection engineering practices.
AttackIQ integrates with more than 100 security tools across categories such as SIEM, EDR, SOAR, XDR, firewalls, cloud controls, and vulnerability data sources, enabling customers to validate their existing stack and automate workflows without replacing core security investments.
