Overview

Product Information on AttackIQ Platform

Updated 8th May 2026

What is AttackIQ Platform?

AttackIQ is a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform, enabling organizations to measure true exposure, prioritize risk, and disrupt real-world attack paths. By moving beyond static vulnerability data, AttackIQ operationalizes CTEM by continuously validating exposures against real adversary behavior and defensive controls. The platform connects vulnerabilities, configurations, identities, and detections into adversary-validated attack paths—quantifying the likelihood of attacker movement and impact. This evidence-based approach empowers security leaders to focus on what matters most, optimize defensive investments, and strengthen resilience through threat-informed, AI-driven security operations.

AttackIQ Platform Pricing

AttackIQ Platform software uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured by tier or feature set and the number of endpoints or users. The software pricing often varies according to deployment size and requirements, with options for annual licensing. Additional charges may apply for advanced modules, dedicated support, or enhanced analytics depending on package selection.

“Integration With Microsoft Stacks Enhances Control Validation and Simulation Efficiency”

5.0
Apr 14, 2026
AttackIQ provides an outstanding Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) environment. This allows us to continuously validate our security posture against real-wworld thereats. Operating it from both a user and administrator perspective is highly efficient, particularly when orchestrating simulations and validating controls across a mature Windows Server and endpoint infrastructure.

“Good product but still maturing”

3.0
Jan 22, 2026
Generally easy to use and intuitive UI navigation. The analytics graphs are a bit confusing and not real helpful. Large library of scenarios and test assessments. They are quick to publish new scenarios based on current threat intel and known attack vectors. Event correlation with SIEM is not very well tuned or customizable. Would be much nicer if you were allowed to map more specific fields to what they call their Indicators of Compromise (IOC) fields. Event correlation with our EDR events were not very concise either. Agents have a way to go yet with maturing how you can customize them. There is a config.yaml file on the agent but you can't set all agent behavior attributes in the file, which seems odd since it is there, why not allow you to put all possible values in that config file. A good product but has a ways to go yet before it is great. They have however added functionality since my initial review and appear to continue to innovate.

    Cost-effective assessments benefit small teams, with hands-on maintenance required

    4.0
    May 28, 2026
    We have been very happy with our experience using AttackIQ in a co-managed arrangement. The platform provides a practical and effective way to continuously validate our security controls and test our detection and response capabilities against real-world attack scenarios. With a very small security team, it is vital that we use products like this to help regularly perform both scheduled and ad hoc testing across existing and newly implemented systems, which has significantly improved our confidence is our overall security posture. The ability to safely simulate attacker techniques allows us to proactively identify gaps, validate control effectiveness, and confirm that detections are functioning as expected before issues become real-word incidents.

    Powerful platform for continual threat detection testing.

    Apr 16, 2026
    AIQ is valuable in allowing us to compare remediation, detection across Operating Systems, EDR products and Tenants. The system allows us to track threat intel and test against new rising threats, confirming we are protected and to improve detection in areas where more protection is needed. We have meetings with our AIQ representative where they continually provide helpful information to assist us.

    May 28, 2026
    Very easy and intuitive to use with value being seen almost immediately compared to traditional pen testing. We have now been using AttackIQ for more than a year and see continued value and opportunity. Weekly pen tests, retests and ongoing validation of continuing effectiveness of controls is an essential part of ongoing maintenance

AttackIQ Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. Deep integration with Microsoft security stacks, such as Defender, allows for precise validation of our existing security controls. 2. Extensive API support makes it easy to trigger assessments, manage agents, and extract results using custom PowerShell scripts. 3. The simulation library is constantly updated with the latest threat actor behaviors and MITRE ATT&CK TTPs.

Like

Ease of navigation and intuitive UI. Customizable test scenarios. Agent to agent test scenarios to test zone boundary controls (requires network validation module).

Like

Reduced Operational Overhead. Flexibility to perform targeted assessments when required. Ability to perform more regular testing at a fraction of the cost of traditional pen testing.

Dislike

1. The sheer volume of data generated during extensive simulation runs can be overwhelming to parse without custom filtering. 2. Initial deployment of the simulation agents accross aheavily segmented network requires careful proxy and firewall configuration. 3. Generating large historical trend analysis reports within the web interface can sometimes be resource-intensive.

Dislike

Does not have an on-prem proxy host to manage agents. All agents must egress directly. It would be much nicer to have an aggregation host to control this egress. Their technology integration has some room for improvement. Getting event fields mapped properly to get high fidelity correlation is a challenge. We are still struggling with some of our field mapping in integrations.

Dislike

Maintaining ongoing tuning and prioritization of scenarios can require regular attention, which is why we chose the co-managed option.
