How is BAS different from a vulnerability scan?

A scan finds vulnerabilities; BAS validates your defenses by running real MITRE ATT&CK techniques to see if attacks would succeed against your controls.

Is it safe to run in production?

Yes. Simulations are designed to be production-aware and non-disruptive, validating controls without harming your systems.

How fast are gaps reported?

Immediately on confirmation, via email, SMS or phone, with SIEM/WAF export so your team can respond the same day.

Why Breach and Attack Simulation Is a Business Resilience Lever

You've invested in WAFs, EDR and monitoring — but when did you last prove they stop a real attack? BAS continuously tests your defenses against the techniques attackers actually use, surfacing the gaps before they're exploited and turning security spend into demonstrable, measurable protection your board can trust.

Comparison matrix:

With Continuous BAS

Security controls proven against real techniques
Detection and prevention gaps found continuously
Instant alerts enable same-day fixes
Measurable resilience trend over time
Zero false positives — alerts are real

Without Breach & Attack Simulation

Controls assumed to work, never verified
Gaps discovered only during a real breach
Blind spots persist between annual tests
No evidence that investments pay off
Noise that erodes trust in tooling

Vulnerability Scanning vs Breach and Attack Simulation

	Vulnerability Scanning	Breach & Attack Simulation
Question Answered	What vulnerabilities exist?	Do my defenses stop real attacks?
Focus	Finding flaws	Validating controls
Cadence	Point-in-time	Continuous, 24/7
Technique	Signature checks	Real MITRE ATT&CK scenarios
Best For	Hygiene and patching	Proving security efficacy

Recommendation: Scanning tells you what's vulnerable; BAS tells you whether an attacker could actually succeed against your controls. The two are complementary — fix the flaws you find, and continuously validate that your detection and prevention hold up. ImmuniWeb® Continuous runs BAS safely against the TTPs relevant to your industry.

MITRE ATT&CK Techniques We Simulate

Reconnaissance

We simulate scanning to test exposure detection.

Initial Access

We test whether entry techniques are blocked.

Execution

We validate controls against adversary execution.

Persistence

We check whether footholds would be detected.

Privilege Escalation

We test escalation-prevention controls.

Defense Evasion

We probe whether evasion bypasses detection.

Credential Access

We validate credential-protection controls.

Discovery

We test internal-enumeration detection.

Lateral Movement

We validate segmentation and movement controls.

Exfiltration

We test whether data egress is detected and blocked.

The Continuous BAS Workflow

Onboarding & Scenario Selection

We select MITRE ATT&CK scenarios relevant to you. Artifact: a configured scenario set and scope.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Continuous Simulation

Scenarios run 24/7, safely, against your environment. Artifact: a continuous stream of results.

Control-Efficacy Validation

We measure whether controls detect and block. Artifact: a control-efficacy assessment.

Phase 3

Phase 4

Human Validation

Analysts confirm gaps and remove noise. Artifact: a verified, false-positive-free finding.

Instant Alerting

You are alerted immediately when a gap is confirmed. Artifact: an actionable alert with guidance.

Phase 5

Phase 6

Reporting & Trend Tracking

We report and track resilience over time. Artifact: resilience metrics and retests.

Real-Time Alerting & Continuous Control Assurance

BAS turns control validation into an always-on signal. The moment a defensive gap is confirmed, you are alerted by email, SMS or phone, and findings export to your SIEM and WAF so your team can tune controls the same day. Instead of assuming your defenses work, you continuously prove it against the TTPs that matter to your industry.

Industry-Specific Attack Simulation

We align simulated attacks to the threats your sector faces:

Financial Services & FinTech

Continuous validation of controls against fraud and intrusion TTPs under DORA and PCI DSS.

Critical Infrastructure & Utilities

Always-on control validation for high-impact environments aligned with NIS 2.

SaaS & Enterprise

Continuous testing of detection and segmentation across web and application infrastructure.
