Between the multitude of existing threat actors trying to breach an organisation’s network, a plethora of insider threats, and a whole host of constantly emerging threats, organisations are now facing ideal conditions for a security breach. Add in the often-incorrect assumption that every security tool has been optimally configured, and chances are that you’re left with a set of security tools that could well be unnecessarily complex to manage and may not even be providing optimal protection, leaving your network vulnerable on several levels.
The go-to response to this problem is usually to throw money at it, but this just brings up another question: how do you quantify the return on that investment? Plugging the latest piece of security technology into your network is all very well, but can you be certain that it’s doing the job you’re expecting of it? With the attack surface area expanding, the nature of cyberattacks constantly evolving, and the cost of breaches growing, the realisation that your security tools aren’t up to the job should ideally not come when a breach is in progress. Even leaving aside this worst-case scenario, it becomes very difficult to manage and improve your security posture in the long-term if you can’t effectively measure it.
The solution to these issues comes in the form of proactive, continuous security validation. The best way to ensure that your defences are working is to embrace an offensive approach, by employing breach and attack simulation software to evaluate your security posture before an actual attack happens. This provides security teams with valuable, actionable insights which allow them to ensure that their existing security tools are working both correctly and optimally, improving an organisation’s security and potentially saving the cost of adding another expensive security solution.
Keysight’s Threat Simulator builds on over twenty years of leadership in network security testing to provide you with insight into your security posture across public, private, and hybrid networks. You’ll also get regular updates from Keysight’s Application and Threat Intelligence team, giving you access to the latest breach scenarios and threat simulations which allow you to test your security tools against emulated real-world attacks, without the risk of an actual breach, as well as clear advice on how to remediate any identified gaps. This all comes in a modern, simplified web user interface that can be deployed out of the box, even with more complex network architectures.
