About AttackIQ

AttackIQ sells a platform that connects exposure signals, attack paths, and controls into a single decision layer. AttackIQ says the layer lets teams know what to fix, in what order, and prove that threat debt is going down.[1][4][6]

AttackIQ describes AVA OS as the operating system for CTEM. AVA OS orchestrates specialized AI agents that execute autonomous cybersecurity missions to continuously validate defenses, break attack paths, and reduce threat debt.[4]

The platform gives each role its own workspace. Role-specific workspaces surface the right signal, action, and proof for each operator, all backed by the same validated truth. AttackIQ Professional Services help customers stand up, operate, and scale a CTEM program that proves defense is improving.[6]

It works with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google Chronicle, Elastic Security, and QRadar, with more available via API. AttackIQ platform exposure features map the attack surface, model paths to critical assets, and prioritize by exploitability, reachability, and business value.[6][7]

Ready uses lightweight agents or test points that customers deploy and control. AttackIQ experts handle all testing and analysis based on the customer's priorities.[4][8]

AttackIQ Enterprise is aimed at continuous validation across the entire stack. AttackIQ Enterprise offers custom adversary scenarios, automated workflows, and program-level reporting. AttackIQ describes Enterprise as a prescriptive service that helps customers select adversary tactics, techniques and procedures to proactively run for cloud and on-premises security controls.[4][9]

AttackIQ Command Center centralizes exposure validation across teams, clients, and partners. Command Center supports the operating models of enterprises, MSSPs, and strategic partners. Its unified console manages deployments, users, agents, and integrations from a single control center. For third-party risk, AttackIQ sends lightweight, agentless emulation packages to vendors by email or API.[4][10][11]

AttackIQ organizes its solutions around specific jobs. For compliance, AttackIQ offers ongoing testing mapped to NIST, CMMC, PCI-DSS, and more. For control validation, AttackIQ says the aim is to validate that every control blocks, detects, and responds as it should. For exposure reduction, AttackIQ AEV validates which exposures actually matter so teams can prioritize what puts the business at real risk. For detection engineering, AttackIQ integrates validation into GitOps, CI/CD, and SOAR pipelines to automate rule testing.[4][12][13][14][15]

AttackIQ says it serves organizations from Fortune 500 companies to mid-sized enterprises across industries.[4][7][8][15]
