The Challenge
The Covid-19 pandemic led to broad geographic shutdowns, quadrupling the overall number of people working from home, with some companies shutting offices for 100% of their workforce. This introduced significant changes in many company’s IT and cybersecurity architectures, additionally some companies had to relax security policies to accommodate remote workers, these included technical attributes such as extending the time-out period of VPNs, to workflow changes such as contract printing and signing.
The Solution
Continuous security validation enables organizations to emulate a remote worker’s endpoint and validate the effectiveness of its defenses, including cloud-based and endpoint security controls. Additionally, the platform can emulate an adversary to run purple team exercises. By fully operationalizing the MITRE ATT&CK framework Cymulate enables you to test your incident response procedures related to a compromised or infected remote endpoint. You also gain visibility on the real risk a compromised endpoint creates by performing automated lateral movement from it, to discover the critical assets it can gain access to by employing hacking techniques.
