“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.

“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

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.

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 simulations are well-structured and help identify gaps in defenses without being overly disruptive to the environment

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.

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

Nothing so far
