About Assail

Assail sells Ares, an autonomous offensive security platform that tests applications, APIs, mobile apps and AI systems and shows what an attacker could actually reach.^[1]

Assail says Ares continuously tests applications, APIs, mobile apps, and AI systems as they change. Ares follows attack paths, exploits weaknesses, and proves what an attacker could actually reach. Coordinated AI agents extend testing capacity, and Ares tests authenticated applications through the customer's existing identity provider. Ares also tracks changes across known and shadow APIs and delivers the evidence behind each confirmed risk.^[3]

Assail describes Ares as combining autonomous red teaming, attack surface management, and Shadow AI discovery across web, API, mobile, and supported AI environments, with applicable MITRE ATLAS coverage. The Ares platform is powered by Assail's domain-adapted model for security reasoning and tool use.^[3][7]

On deployment, Assail says Ares can run within the customer's own infrastructure, even in disconnected environments. With Assail Anywhere, the entire platform, including the AI model, deploys on-premises, inside isolated and air-gapped networks, in the customer's own cloud, or through Assail's SaaS. Assail has also announced that it expanded Reaper's sovereign deployment architecture to AWS GovCloud and Google Cloud Assured Workloads.^[3]

Assail names Ares, Reaper, and Scorpion as the products taken to the fight. Reaper is described as autonomous offensive cyber operations built for military, federal, and intelligence missions.^[3]

Assail publishes industry pages for manufacturing, financial services, federal and state government, automotive, retail, and defense. In manufacturing, Ares validates systems such as ERP, MES, PLM, supplier portals, industrial APIs, and connected products. In financial services, Ares validates APIs, payment rails, mobile banking apps, and open banking integrations. For retail, Ares validates e-commerce web apps, mobile shopping apps, loyalty APIs, and gift card platforms. In automotive it covers telematics APIs, OTA infrastructure, and mobile companion apps.^{[4][5][6][9][10]}

Assail says its team brings 26 years of offensive security experience. Assail also publishes original research on attack techniques and the exploitation of AI and API surfaces. A customer, Branch, says Ares helps its security team increase penetration testing frequency and validate remediations faster.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][8]}

About Cymulate

Cymulate sells the Cymulate Platform, which turns validation into a continuous, adaptive process of agentic cyber defense engineering. Cymulate says manual testing and control updates can take days to adapt to new threats. With Vero AI, Cymulate says it understands new threats, tailors validation to the customer's environment and turns findings into prioritized actions and automated security control updates.^[1][3][5][7]

Cymulate says its threat library has full MITRE ATT&CK coverage. The platform includes a daily feed of the latest threats with a 24-hour SLA for updated attack simulations for new US Cert threat advisories. Cymulate safely simulates real-world attack techniques across endpoints, networks, email, web gateways and cloud environments, with integrations to the controls and SIEM to prove both prevention and detection. Testing results create scorecards and benchmarks for security controls, MITRE ATT&CK coverage and specific threats. Cymulate combines breach and attack simulation, exposure validation and actionable remediation guidance in a single platform.^[1][3][5][8]

For exposure management, Cymulate says customers can automate validation as part of a continuous threat exposure management program. Cymulate lets customers push vendor-specific threat mitigation and behavior rules for immediate prevention or detection. Cymulate Auto Mitigate deploys relevant IoCs to security controls after teams follow remediation guidance for validated gaps. The Cymulate + Bitsight integration creates a closed loop between adversary intelligence and continuous exposure validation. In the Cymulate Platform, Bitsight provides relevant adversaries, campaigns, ransomware groups, APTs, TTPs, IoCs and targeting trends that are then used to focus testing and validation workflows.^[3][5][6][7]

On detection, Cymulate Detection Studio automates SIEM rule validation and detection tuning against real-world attacks. Cymulate says it transforms detection engineering from a manual, resource-intensive process into a continuous, automated lifecycle. Vero AI maps rules to attack scenarios, tests detection performance, identifies gaps and recommends or generates new rules. Cymulate generates Sigma rules and vendor-specific detection rules from validated gaps and provides guided tuning for the rules customers already have. Once deployed, rules are retested against the original attack scenario to confirm they improved detection. Cymulate simulations are production-safe: they reproduce the techniques and behavior of real attacks without executing actual malicious payloads or causing damage to systems or data.^[3][7][8]

Cymulate says it is built for security teams that need continuous validation across their environment, including security operations, detection engineering, red teams and exposure management teams. Cymulate says it supports organizations of all sizes, from mid-market to enterprise, especially those with complex or evolving security stacks. Cymulate says it empowers executives, security operations and the whole security program to continuously prove, prioritize and adapt security for specific threats and exposures.^[3][5][8]

Cymulate was founded by former IDF intelligence officers and cyber researchers. Cymulate says its platform runs on a private AWS tenant engineered for isolation, high availability, and redundancy across multiple regions. Cymulate does not collect or store sensitive Personal Identifying Information or PCI-DSS cardholder data. Cymulate states that data stored in databases and AWS is encrypted with AES-256. Cymulate has independent external auditor attestation across the Security, Availability, Confidentiality and Privacy Trust Services Criteria, and a public SOC 3 report.^[3][8]

About SafeBreach

SafeBreach sells the SafeBreach Exposure Validation Platform, which combines the SafeBreach Validate breach and attack simulation product with the attack path validation capabilities of SafeBreach Propagate. SafeBreach says the complementary tools help security teams identify security control gaps and understand what an attacker could accomplish by exploiting them.^[1][5]

SafeBreach says its breach and attack simulation tool helps enterprise security teams test the ability of deployed security controls to detect, prevent, and mitigate real-world attacks. SafeBreach describes a BAS tool designed to use the TTPs of malicious actors to test the efficacy of deployed security controls against real-world threats. SafeBreach says the BAS tool helps validate custom detections and incident response processes at scale.^[6][7]

SafeBreach describes a CART tool designed to assess the potential impact and blast radius of a successful breach. SafeBreach says the CART tool helps uncover high-risk paths to critical organizational assets and crown jewels. SafeBreach says the CART tool helps prioritize remediation activities to focus on the most critical exposures.^[7]

SafeBreach describes an automated remediation engine that suggests tailored remediation steps based on Validate simulation results. The remediation steps are specific to the customer's tech stack, taking into account deployed security controls and environmental context. SafeBreach says the recommendations are fully integrated into the SafeBreach platform, so they can be viewed without extra tools or dashboards. SafeBreach says the engine uses AWS Bedrock so that customer data is never shared or retained.^[7]

SafeBreach Helm is the AI infrastructure layer of the SafeBreach CTEM Platform. Helm orchestrates three purpose-built AI agents, the Analyst Agent, Validation Agent, and SecOps Agent, through a single natural-language interface to operationalize the full CTEM lifecycle. Helm moves organizations from siloed security activities toward a closed-loop CTEM program that continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates cyber risk at scale. The SafeBreach Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Platform is designed to help organizations move from reactive security to a proactive, closed-loop risk management program. The SafeBreach CTEM Platform uses SafeBreach Helm and three AI agents to operationalize the five-phased CTEM framework.^[1][5][8]

SafeBreach says the SafeBreach CTEM Platform is grounded in an adversarial exposure validation (AEV) platform backed by a decade of enterprise expertise and 40,000+ attack simulations. SafeBreach says the CTEM platform unifies security data from across a security ecosystem into a 360-degree view of risk. SafeBreach Helm and the SafeBreach CTEM Platform are designed to work with an existing security stack. SafeBreach says the SafeBreach CTEM Platform includes integrations with vulnerability management platforms, external attack surface management solutions, threat intelligence feeds, SOAR platforms, and ticketing and workflow management tools.^[8]

SafeBreach says it validates that each security control is operating optimally, both individually and in orchestration with other tools in the stack. SafeBreach runs continuous, automated attack simulations, or customers can build their own, across controls including web, endpoint, email, network inspection, network access, container, and cloud. SafeBreach identifies which controls blocked, detected, or missed attacks. SafeBreach maps attack simulation results to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to visualize how defenses performed. SafeBreach says its simulations are real attack methods that are executed only against SafeBreach simulators and never use real production data.^[9][10]

SafeBreach says its customers face the challenge of extending security beyond the boundaries of the enterprise network to support a remote workforce. SafeBreach says the SafeBreach CTEM Platform was built for Fortune 500 and Global 2000 environments. The Husch Blackwell law firm used SafeBreach to run safe, automated attack scenarios that continuously validate the efficacy of security controls for endpoint devices. A Fortune 500 healthcare organization used SafeBreach to establish a stronger, more defensive posture with a proactive approach to critical threats. A Fortune 500 drug and device development company used SafeBreach to institute automated testing of its security architecture. SafeBreach says its SafeBreach Labs team is dedicated to uncovering new threats and conducting original research.^{[5][8][9][11][12]}
