Breach and attack simulation (BAS) remains a newer IT security technology, but its capabilities are increasingly essential to vigilance in a world of zero-day threats.

BAS can automatically spot vulnerabilities in an organization’s cyber defenses, akin to continuous, automated penetration testing. More than just pen testing and red team insights, BAS solutions often recommend and prioritize remediation to maximize security resources and minimize cyber exposure.

A few years into BAS’s entry into the cybersecurity marketplace, vendors range from startups to fast-growing mid-sized companies and vulnerability-focused enterprise companies. Some consolidation has already taken place, but more will come and the race to obtain a sustainable market share is far from over.

As the market develops, several vendors refer to advanced BAS solutions as security validation. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are an increasingly important part of this market, as automated cybersecurity tools need to be able to adjust as new threats emerge.
