AttackIQ

AttackIQ is a cybersecurity company focused on security validation and threat-informed defense. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company provides technology that allows security teams to safely emulate adversary behavior and continuously measure the effectiveness of defensive controls. AttackIQ maps simulations to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and helps organizations determine whether endpoint, network, identity, cloud and other security controls can prevent, detect and respond to realistic attack techniques. Its platform has expanded into continuous threat exposure management, where organizations can validate exposure paths and prioritize weaknesses based on attacker reach and business impact. AttackIQ supports enterprise, government, defense and critical infrastructure environments, including classified and air-gapped networks. The platform can be used for purple-team exercises, detection engineering, control validation, compliance evidence and security architecture testing. Its approach is designed to provide measurable evidence instead of relying on assumptions that security products are working as expected. AttackIQ also offers managed validation services and specialized programs for third-party security testing. By continuously testing controls against evolving adversary behavior, organizations can identify security gaps before real attackers exploit them. AttackIQ is particularly relevant to security leaders seeking objective measurements of defensive readiness and a repeatable process for improving security controls over time.
