Continuous attack simulations have improved real-world threat detection and response skills
The best features AttackIQ offers include being a cybersecurity platform specializing in breach attack simulation and AEF validation, as it tests the organization's defenses by simulating real-world attack behavior, which are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a platform where I can run real-world attack scenarios and identify and mitigate them. AttackIQ is well-aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and has strong continuous validation. The platform is built to run continuous and automation tests, which helps during point-in-time checks or reduces blind spots. AttackIQ positively impacts my organization as most of my colleagues and seniors have been using it to understand real-world attack scenarios and how to cope with those situations, benefiting the company, colleagues, and team. After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things. It has definitely benefited the organization in terms of faster risk identification and faster response times.

Comprehensive risk scanning has protected servers and improves monthly vulnerability remediation
Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management has a few things that need to be enhanced. First, there is the issue of superseded patches. Superseded means if we miss the current month patch, for example, if we miss the January patch to deploy on a particular server, Microsoft includes January changes in the second month security patch, and then the second month security patch includes all things in March. For example, if we miss two month patches and we directly deploy the March month security patch on a system, the other two patches, such as January and February, will be closed. Superseded means these patches are not deployed on a system, but after the latest one, which we already deployed, the older one does not need to be installed or deployed on a system. Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management takes a report of each and every vulnerability and shows that the January month patch was not deployed on a system and the February month patch was not deployed on a system. However, that is not a proper scanning method. If we have already deployed the latest patch that includes the older security things or older security parameters and the latest parameters, when we deploy that latest patch, why does Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management show the older patches also in potential vulnerabilities? That is a main factor that should be improved from Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management. Second, the remedies provided by Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management are sometimes not useful most of the time. In that case, we need to troubleshoot or find out the remedies by ourselves. The remedies will also be something that needs to be improved in the system or in the application.
