73%The likelihood of specific attacker techniques used during an intrusion should impact an organization’s security investment decision-making process.
In 2022, Mandiant observed 73% of MITRE ATT&CK techniques used by adversaries across investigations. This proves the defensive value of prioritizing and validating implementation of the right security measures to protect against the most commonly used techniques.
40%Nearly 40% of intrusions where compromised architecture was observed, resulted in ongoing spam, phishing operations and distribution of botnets.
FAQ
Data captured by security validation enables security teams to identify gaps, misconfigurations, redundancies, lack of accurate SIEM correlation and alerting within a security program and opportunities for continuous optimization and measure of improvement over time.
- Evidence of security effectiveness (security infrastructure health)
- Demonstrated value of security investments (spend rationalization)
- Quantitative reporting to executives and non-technical stakeholders
- Security framework assessments (MITRE ATT&CK Framework or NIST)
- Technology evaluations
- Operationalization of threat intelligence and threat actor assurance
- Advanced malware and ransomware defense validation
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Cloud controls validation
Security Validation is informed by timely threat intelligence and executes automated and continuous testing of security controls with the use of real attacks. Although there are different approaches to testing security effectiveness, the emulation of real attack behaviors and malware against an organization’s security controls and across the entire security stack enable the capture of quantifiable data on how security controls perform under attack. This approach to security validation provides visibility into gaps, misconfigurations and the ability to identify areas for improvement to continuously optimize security defenses against the most relevant threats.
