Hack Yourself...Before Attackers Do
Continuously Validate Your Cyber Defenses
Security is never static. New cyber attacks are constantly emerging and misconfigurations are rampant. How do you take control of an ever-changing threat landscape?
The only way is to attack yourself before hackers can.
A breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform built on 20+ years of leadership in network security testing, Threat Simulator enables you to safely simulate attacks on your production network, identify gaps in coverage, and remediate potential vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
A central component of Keysight's Security Operations Suite, Threat Simulator enables you to do all this and more:
- Safely emulate attacks on your production network.
- Find and fix misconfigurations and gaps.
- Measure security posture on a continuous basis.
- Prove you're safer than you were yesterday.
- Prevent past incidents and attacks from happening again.
- Save money by maximizing existing security controls and processes before purchasing new tools.

Simulate the Cyber Attack Kill Chain

Continuously Validate Your Defenses

Remediate Gaps in Your Security
How Threat Simulator Works
Emulate Real-World Attacks Without Compromise
Threat Simulator never interacts with your production servers or endpoints. Instead, it uses isolated software endpoints across your network to safely exercise your live security defenses. Dark Cloud, our malware and attack simulator, connects to these endpoints to test your security infrastructure by emulating the entire cyber kill chain — phishing, user behavior, malware transmission, infection, command and control, and lateral movement.

Close Critical Security Gaps With Step-by-Step Instructions
Finding problems is easy. Fixing them is harder. That's why Threat Simulator provides product-specific remediations for every security gap it identifies. Featuring user-friendly, step-by-step instructions, our patented recommendation engine cuts through clutter with actionable intelligence to close your most critical issues.

Simplify Your Workflow With A SaaS-Based Platform
A pure software solution, Threat Simulator simplifies deployment and cost-effectiveness with auto-scaling design and software-as-a-service (SaaS) management. An intuitive dashboard shows you everything at a glance — including security gaps, audit statuses, and security measurements over time — while a user-friendly interface minimizes errors and saves valuable time.

Measure and Optimize Your Current Security Tool Stack
Boasting turnkey integrations with leading network security tool vendors — including IBM, Splunk, CheckPoint, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper, and more — Threat Simulator helps your tools work smarter, not harder. Bidirectional communication ensures that your SIEM tools can quickly distinguish simulated cyber security threats from the real thing, while end-to-end validation makes it easy to manage and measure the effectiveness of your infrastructure.


What is Breach and Attack Simulation?
Let’s face it: simply buying and plugging in a new security device is not going to magically make problems disappear. You don’t need another defensive tool — you need to know how effective the tools you have actually are.
According to our research, nearly 2 in 3 companies aren't confident their security tools are properly configured. That's why so many SecOps teams rely on breach and attack simulation (BAS) tools like Threat Simulator.
Download Breach and Attack Simulation For Dummies to discover how to continuously simulate real-world attacks on your live network. By safely emulating the entire cyber attack kill chain, you can validate the strength of your defenses, identify potential cyber security threats, and remediate vulnerable gaps.
Don't Just Find Problems. Fix Them.
Knowledge is power. But without action, it's only a piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately, most tools will only help you find problems — they won't help you solve them.
With Threat Simulator, you'll always be a step ahead. Continuous, automated assessments make it easy to identify gaps, while a patented recommendation engine gives you the actionable intelligence you need to close them. Whether you need to deploy a new patch on your NGFW, enable a new functionality on your IPS, or install a new tool altogether, you get product-specific, step-by-step instructions to optimize your architecture and strengthen your cyber security defenses.


Tap Into Threat Intelligence, 24/7/365
The world leader in application and security testing, our Application and Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research Center keeps Threat Simulator updated with the latest threats. Our database contains more than 50 million records, and millions of new threats are analyzed and cataloged each month.
With continuous updates from our feed, you'll always be able to emulate the latest cyber security threats and attacks. But curtailing threats also means knowing your enemy. So, when you need to dive a little deeper, you can drill down on specific attacks to learn even more. From cyber attack signatures to evidence of malicious activity, our database makes it easy to leave no stone unturned.
