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.

Pros

"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product."
"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."
"RedSeal helps you prioritize and allocate your scarce human and capital resources where they have the biggest impact to protect your most-valuable digital assets."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."

"The most valuable feature I enjoy that is provided by this security analytics platform is the ability to measure resilience."
"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."
"This solution is amazing! The most important part is the way it gives access information to the entire infrastructure, the network most importantly."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"The network mapping/visualization could be improved significantly."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
