Overview

Product Information on AttackIQ Platform

Updated 13th October 2025

What is AttackIQ Platform?

AttackIQ Platform is a software designed to automate and manage continuous security testing for organizational cyber defense infrastructure. The software enables users to assess the effectiveness of security controls by simulating real-world cyber attacks, identifying gaps in existing protection, and providing actionable insights to improve security posture. It supports integration with other security technologies, allowing for streamlined workflows and comprehensive visibility into security processes. AttackIQ Platform helps address the business problem of validating security controls and detecting vulnerabilities, ensuring that defenses are functioning as intended while reducing risk and improving incident response capabilities.

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.

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

The product is very closely aligned to the research of the Centre of Threat Informed Defence meaning a lot of the latest innovations in the product which is great. It also has a fantastic training academy which really aids in getting the best from the product. The depth of the content and the newly released AI features have been great.

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

The management of the health of agents could be better as its hard to keep track of when assets have issues. Additionally, we do find that some of the content is more USA threat focussed.

    Extensive Content Library and AI Features Enhance Threat Detection Capabilities

    5.0
    Oct 23, 2025
    Having used AttackIQ for over three years, we've seen the product evolve significantly, with some advanced new features on the horizon. The solution supports multiple operating systems and has enabled us to conduct large-scale testing, replacing what was previously a fully manual testing program. Deployment was straightforward, and the extensive content library has allowed us to test against the threats most relevant to our organisation. The customer support team has consistently been responsive and quick to resolve issues. Overall, we're very satisfied with both the product and service.

    Powerful platform for continual threat detection testing.

    5.0
    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.
