Security Control Validation
Test the effectiveness of the security controls set in place to detect and better protect an organisation from adversaries.
What is Security Control Validation?
Simulating hundreds of cyber threat scenarios, from Ransomware to the latest Government Threat Advisories, all based on MITRE ATT&CK Techniques. We test the effectiveness of security controls to detect and protect an organisation from adversaries and providesclear and unbiased data on the resilience of controls to specific cyber threats.
What we do
By deploying an agent to an organisation’s varying Operating System (OS) images, we will then run a number of attack scenarios in line with the customers objectives such as protecting against Ransomware or specific attacks for industry etc.
This will test the configuration of the asset and confirm any weaknesses and or vulnerabilities including misconfigurations that could lead to a successful attack.
If Customers have an outsourced Security Operations Centre (SoC), they might want to test how effective they are in determining a potential attack?
Provides a view into attacker-facing resources, allowing you to quickly prioritise remediation efforts by severity.
Provides a view into attacker-facing resources, allowing you to quickly prioritise remediation efforts by severity.
Confirm public-facing servers throughout your digital supply chain are no longer vulnerable to exploits such as Log4j etc.
Identify All Public-facing API Domains.
Predictive crawling technology discovers publicly exposed API domains to help you eliminate shadow APIs.
Discover and understand your API Hosting Footprint.
Assess against OWASP API Security Top 10, Web App Top 10 and Automated Threats.
Key Features of SCV
Consultation as to the appropriate attack scenarios relevant to the organisation. Guidance on how to mitigate and harden defences against key cyber threats. Produce reports, mapped against control frameworks such as NIST CSF/800-53 and ISO 27001, so Customers can understand their compliance assurance levels
Validate security controls aligned to ISO and NIST.
Test using MITRE ATT&CK TTP’s (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures) of real-world hackers.
Understand the resilience & response to a Ransomware attack.
See if and how a Ransomware attack could affect an organisation which is a concern for Boards and Security Teams alike
Validate protection, detection & response to cyber threats.
Infosec teams will have assurance on their security controls.
Identify areas of weakness within the kill chain of tests.
Mitigate the gaps identified during testing.
Test the Incident Response team’s capability of detect and respond especially if you have an outsourced team, how effective are they?
Map attack simulations to MITRE ATT&CK.
Tests simulate TTPs of this framework.
Testing is safe for Production environments.
Key Benefits of SCV
Security Controls Validation
Tests the effectiveness of your security controls, ensuring they can detect and protect your organisation from adversaries. It provides clear and unbiased data on the resilience of your controls to specific cyber threats. Whether it is ransomware, government advisories, or other attack techniques, Quantum allow you to simulate hundreds of threat scenarios based on MITRE ATT&CK Techniques without risking damage or disruption to operations.
Custom Threat Scenarios
Ability to create custom threat scenarios without any coding. This flexibility enables tailored testing to match your organisation’s unique security landscape.
Rapid Results
Delivers results in a matter of minutes depending on number of scenarios selected. Customers will swiftly gain insights into the effectiveness of their security controls and receive guidance on how to mitigate and strengthen your defences against key cyber threats.
Control Framework Mapping
If Customers need to align results with control frameworks, we can map back to NIST CSF/800-53 and ISO 27001, ensuring seamless integration with existing security practices.
