Mandiant Security Validation vs. Kroll FAST Attack Simulation

Many people think that breach and attack simulation (BAS) offers a comprehensive evaluation of an organization's cybersecurity strengths; however, this view is somewhat misleading. A number of traditional BAS providers have begun to reposition themselves as security validation services. To efficiently distribute resources, it is essential to leverage the latest global threat intelligence and insights from adversaries to tackle the specific risks faced by your organization. Create realistic and active attack simulations that include dangerous threats such as malware and ransomware. Conduct authentic attacks that cover the entire lifecycle of an assault, ensuring a strong and thorough integration with your overall security architecture. Regularly and objectively assessing the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures is vital, as this not only reduces the organization's exposure to risks but also assists CISOs in showcasing quantifiable enhancements and illustrating the value of their security investments to key stakeholders. Moreover, in the fast-changing landscape of threats today, organizations need to continuously evolve their strategies to preemptively counter emerging risks. By doing so, they can establish a more resilient security posture and enhance their overall defense mechanisms.

Kroll’s FAST Attack Simulations combine exceptional incident forensics expertise with leading security frameworks, providing customized simulations tailored to your specific environment. With decades of experience in incident response and proactive testing, Kroll effectively designs fast attack simulations that cater to the distinct needs and potential vulnerabilities of your organization. Our profound knowledge of diverse industry, market, and regional factors that influence an organization’s threat landscape helps us create a variety of attack simulations aimed at equipping your systems and teams for emerging threats. In addition to meeting your organization’s specific demands, Kroll integrates recognized industry standards, such as MITRE ATT&CK, with our extensive expertise to thoroughly evaluate your ability to detect and respond to indicators throughout the attack lifecycle. Once these simulations are developed, it is crucial to regularly implement them to assess configuration changes, evaluate response readiness, and verify compliance with internal security measures. This continuous evaluation process not only enhances your defenses but also promotes a culture of ongoing improvement within your security operations, ensuring that your organization remains resilient against evolving threats. Furthermore, this proactive approach helps to instill confidence in your team’s preparedness and ability to respond effectively in real-world situations.
