The most trusted products, services, and brands are secured by NetSPI

The Challenge

NetSPI’s data shows nearly 75% of common attack behaviors are missed by out-of-the-box EDR, SIEM, and MSSP solutions. Companies continue to invest heavily in security products to manage their threat exposure. However, having security controls in place with advanced technology doesn’t guarantee their effectiveness. Security tools like EDR, SIEM, SOAR, XDR, and MSSPs are often deployed with inadequate, outdated, or default configurations that fail to meet the specific needs of an organization’s unique environment. The cybersecurity skills shortage adds to this challenge; one study found that 39% of IT professionals claim the skills gap has led to an inability to configure security technologies to their full potential. 1

The Solution

Detective Controls Testing as a Service blends expert-driven testing and research with our AI-Enabled technology to validate the efficacy of your security detective controls. This solution benchmarks detective control coverage, provides business and threat context of identified gaps, and delivers prioritized remediation guidance. We offer simulation packs designed for focused testing in key areas, including MITRE ATT&CK, Azure, Linux, Mac, ESXi, and ransomware. All offerings include a one-year subscription to The NetSPI Platform for self-guided testing. Track and share the efficacy of your security capabilities over time with timelines, vendor comparisons, and dashboards mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

  • Benchmark & validate security detection controls, processes, and procedures
  • Improve detection capabilities earlier in the cyber kill chain
  • Demonstrate return on investment and impact of security

A leading financial institution assumed their security tools were tuned to at least 50% coverage rate, however, NetSPI found them to only have 5%. Once they deployed NetSPI Detective Controls Testing in their environment, they were able to fine-tune detective controls and increase their detection coverage levels by over 500% within a year.

Validate Security Detective Controls
Fine-tune controls and improve coverage

Organizations have many security tools (EDR, SIEM, SOAR, XDR, MSSPs etc.) positioned to identify risks. However, due to time and resource constraints, they are often not tuned effectively. NetSPI Detective Controls Testing uses attack simulations to determine if you have gaps or misconfigurations within your security controls, response processes, and procedures.

  • Select the simulation pack(s) most relevant to your environment

  • Obtain remediation guidance from security experts and access additional resources
  • Leverage The NetSPI Platform to continue testing, validating, and tracking progress as you fine-tune your security stack

Strengthen Ransomware Defense
Improve detection capabilities to prevent ransomware and cyberattacks

Detective Controls Testing on The NetSPI Platform includes a pre-built ransomware playbook that simulates our security experts’ observations of TTPs, behaviors, and patterns that specific ransomware operators use.

  • Assess how well security controls can detect ransomware
  • Act on prevention guidance and continuously fine-tune detection controls
  • Detect ransomware earlier in the cyber kill chain to prevent full-scale attacks

Demonstrate ROI and the Impact of Detection Improvements
Strategic security planning and return on investment

Detective Controls Testing provides visuals of ROI and program progress that security leaders can use at the executive and Board level to justify spending on security tools, hiring staff, and using third-party support.

  • Track progress to evaluate and demonstrate security program effectiveness
  • Compare security vendor performance and detection capabilities
  • Benchmark detection coverage again industry peers
