Our take
Remaining cybersecure in an environment of increasingly intelligent threats is a cross-industry problem for businesses, with over half in a position where it would be difficult for them to respond to a cybersecurity incident, owing in part to the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals in the market. AttackIQ provides automated security control validation, by testing cybersecurity protocol within a company via Breach and Attack Simulation.
AttackIQ is the leading independent vendor of BAS systems. Its security optimisation platform is the first of its kind, running continuous validations via simulated attacks, to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of security programs. Untested security controls, the company says, operate at only 39% effectiveness. In addition to the platform, the company provides the free and award-winning AttackIQ Academy, with the goal of training professionals in the skills they need to be cybersecure and closing the gap in digital security intelligence.
AttackIQ has seen considerable investment and has been growing its leadership team, with the goal of remaining competitive, driving growth and improving customer retention. The demand for cybersecurity products continues to grow, giving the company plenty of space to expand operations and its client list as it develops.
