Fundamentals of Breach and Attack Simulation

Courses
16 items

Dive deeper into adversarial exposure validation (AEV) with Keysight engineers. This course guides you through essential AEV principles, powered by breach and attack simulation (BAS). Included are demonstrations and step-by-step guidance you can start applying in your lab today. By the end of this course, you will be able to assess your security posture, configure simulation tools in your tool stack, and validate your defenses with precision.

Learn:

How to deploy and configure adversarial exposure validation tools using breach and attack simulation.
How to execute data exfiltration assessments and validate defenses like WAFs.
How to operationalize AEV workflows across hybrid environments.

This bootcamp is ideal for security engineers, DevSecOps professionals, or anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of security validation and posture analysis using adversarial exposure validation and breach and attack simulation.

Fortify Your Defenses with Simulations

The Keysight team has built a SaaS breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform called Threat Simulator, which is one service available as part of its larger Security Operations Suite. Threat Simulator can automate a wide variety of attacks against controls, services, and infrastructure both on-premises and in the cloud, with minimal setup because the service itself is hosted in a cloud environment. Threat Simulator helps organizations test security tools against 20,000+ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), including MITRE ATT&CK®, and measure network, email, and endpoint security posture at the same time.

SCADAfence: BAS for IT/OT Security

The new joint offering by SCADAfence and Keysight, BAS now extends to your converged IT-OT network. SCADAfence and Keysight technologies have joined forces to create a new concept: “virtual BAS agents.” This allows security teams to run simulations of attacks against the IT-OT boundary in a safe and non-intrusive way.

Lesson 6 - Validating an Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Shows how to use a BAS tool to validate the configuration of an Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF), which is a security appliance that can help to protect web applications from attack.

Demos

Lesson 7 - Threat Simulator Validating Azure WAF

This video demonstrates how you can use Keysight’s Threat Simulator to assess the prevention capabilities of your web application firewall or WAF in Microsoft Azure.
