Breach and Attack Simulation Tools

A

Breach and Attack Simulation Tool

is a security testing software that enables simulating realistic attacks with an automation-oriented approach. The simulation must be standardized, reproducible and allow for continuous testing. The tool aims to examine the system's security and produce results accordingly, outlining vulnerabilities and suggesting mitigations.

During the last 10 years a great number of tools have been implemented in order to improve this process reducing the time required, broadening the coverage of attacks and reducing the cost of having a red team. The current panorama of technologies related to this field is complex: there are different softwares that use diverse terminologies and have very different capabilities and features.

This website contains three different contributions:

• Technology offers an in-depth examination of Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Tools, covering their use cases, benefits, and general methods of application within the cybersecurity domain.
• Framework introduces a systematic framework for evaluating Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Tools, focusing on their capabilities and enabling comparisons among different tools. compare it with others. The framework is exemplified through a case study of MITRE CALDERA®.
• The Finder function is designed to assist in identifying the most effective Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Tools tailored to particular needs and objectives, thereby supporting the selection of the optimal cybersecurity solution.
