What You Need to Know about Breach and Attack Simulation

NetSPI research found nearly 60% of common attack tactics slip past endpoint tools with default settings. Its BAS as a Service blends expert-led testing with platform data to validate detection.

Lessons from NetSPI's cloud attack simulations: default cloud logging alone is insufficient, SIEM rules need tuning, and breach and attack simulation (BAS) helps validate detective controls in Azure.

NetSPI's Azure breach and attack simulation packs use the MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix to run tailored attacks against Azure environments, validating detective controls beyond audits and pentests.

The breach and attack simulation market is projected to reach nearly $35 billion by 2029. This article outlines six BAS use cases beyond control validation, including ransomware detection and CTEM.

NetSPI's June updates add 185 LOLBAS plays and eight advanced plays to its Breach and Attack Simulation platform, plus new Attack Surface Management and PTaaS capabilities for detection validation.

Since 100% prevention is impossible, ransomware defense hinges on early detection. The article shows how BAS as a service, purple teaming, and baselining expose detection gaps in the kill chain.
