Breach & Attack Simulation
Security controls look good on paper. The question is whether they actually work when an attack arrives. BAS runs automated attack scenarios against your environment to test detection rules, response playbooks, and defensive controls — continuously, not just once a year.
What Is Breach & Attack Simulation?
Breach and Attack Simulation is the practice of running safe, controlled attack techniques against production environments to measure whether security controls detect and respond as expected. Unlike penetration testing, which focuses on finding vulnerabilities, BAS focuses on validating the effectiveness of your defensive stack.
Every simulation is mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, giving you a threat-actor-centric view of your detection coverage. You see exactly which techniques your SIEM catches, which your EDR blocks, and where the blind spots are.
What’s Covered
The attack surface we simulate against.
Detection Validation
Simulated attacks that test whether your SIEM rules, EDR alerts, and IDS signatures fire when they should. Covers lateral movement, credential access, command execution, and data exfiltration techniques.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
Every simulation mapped to specific ATT&CK techniques and threat groups. Shows detection coverage by tactic, technique, and actor profile. Board-ready heatmaps of your defensive posture.
Purple Team Enablement
Joint exercises where your SOC team works alongside our offensive consultants. Attack simulations run in real time while your analysts practice detection, investigation, and response.
Response Playbook Testing
Validates that your incident response procedures actually work. Do alerts reach the right people? Are escalation paths followed? Is containment executed within the defined timeframe?
Continuous Testing
Scheduled simulations running weekly or monthly. Track detection coverage improvements over time. Regression testing when you change SIEM rules, deploy new endpoints, or restructure your network.
Control Gap Identification
Objective measurement of where your security investment is working and where it is not. Data-driven justification for tooling decisions, rule tuning priorities, and budget allocation.
Our Approach
From baseline to continuous validation.
Environment Mapping
We inventory your detection stack — SIEM, EDR, IDS, firewall logs, cloud security tools. Map the expected detection logic against the ATT&CK techniques relevant to your threat profile.
Baseline Assessment
Run an initial battery of attack simulations across all relevant ATT&CK tactics. Measure detection rates, response times, and alert fidelity. This is your starting point.
Purple Team Exercises
Collaborative sessions where your SOC team observes attacks in real time, identifies detection gaps, and writes new rules. Our consultants provide attack context and technique deep-dives.
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing simulation cycles with trended metrics. Detection coverage improves iteratively. Monthly reports show progress against your baseline and flag new gaps introduced by environment changes.
Why Bravix BAS?
Offensive-Led Simulations
Our attack scenarios are designed and validated by the same pentesters who conduct our red team engagements. The simulations reflect real attacker tradecraft, not generic tool output.
Measurable Metrics
Detection coverage percentages, mean time to detect, mean time to respond. Track improvement over time with hard data that justifies security investment to leadership.
Purple Team Integration
BAS is not a standalone exercise. We integrate it with your existing SOC operations, using simulation results to drive rule development and analyst training.
ATT&CK-Aligned
Full MITRE ATT&CK mapping means you speak the same language as your SOC team and your auditors. Coverage heatmaps translate directly into compliance evidence.
Validate Your Defences with BAS
Stop assuming your controls work. Run automated attack simulations that prove it.
