Cymulate has transformed our security validation approach through its targeted and granular attack simulation. This enables precise emulation across multiple layers like WAF, EDR, Email Gateway, Proxy and Data Loss Prevention solution allowing us to proactively uncover blind spots and misconfigurations. The platform's risk scoring feature adds immense value by prioritizing remediation efforts based on actual exposure, not just theoretical fixes. Standout features are as follows: - 1>Reach threat emulation library: -Cymulate offers extensive set of attack scenarios that mirror real world tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP's), enabling thorough exposure validation. 2>End to End security control validation: - Cymulate runs attack scenarios across diverse technologies that enables control specific gap analysis that we have not seen in other tools. 3> Dynamic risk scoring & prioritized remediation: - Cymulate's exposure scoring is incredibly useful, real time, quantifiable and tied to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Helps translate technical gaps into business risks that non-security leadership understands.

What do you dislike most about the product or service?

While Cymulate offers powerful capabilities, there are certain aspects that could be refined to elevate the user experience and functionality. While this is not a deal breaker, it is worth noting for organizations scaling operations or managing large hybrid environments. 1>Limited granularity in reporting dashboard: -The reports give solid insight but sometimes lack contextual depth for CISO and auditors. More flexibility in customizing risk views and filtering simulation results by business unit or device group would be valuable. 2> Limited historical analytics and trend visualization: -The dashboard focuses on current exposure score and risks but doesn't offer long term analytics or visual progression over quarters and years. More robust trend data could elevate board-level reporting and maturity benchmarking. 3>Missing native mapping to RBI and ISO compliance framework: -Cymulate offers robust technical validation but currently lacks built-in mapping capabilities for regulatory frameworks like the RBI cybersecurity guidelines and ISO 27001 controls. Teams must manually correlate simulation findings to a compliance checklist, which adds friction during audit cycles and delays reporting. Incorporating ready-to-use templates that align with these standards would significantly boost its value for financial institutions and global enterprises.
