3. Industry Challenges
Knowing your security posture seems impossible.
• How effective are current security controls?
• Is my organization safe right now?
• Would it withstand a multi-vector attack?
Organisations must validate their cyber posture more frequently,
more comprehensively and with greater responsiveness.
However, it has become too complicated to check how exposed
you are to cyber threats as every day brings new threats to avoid,
technologies to learn and skills to acquire.
Pen-testing and other alternatives may result in outdated reports
that are no longer relevant.

4. Solution Overview
Cymulate’s platform provides continuous verification of your security posture and susceptibility.
When activated, it deploys thousands of multi vector attacks, simulating countless threats our company may encounter, whether common or novel. Cymulate provides a
cybersecurity risk score, immediately exposes security gaps and offers clear guidelines on how to remediate them.
Cymulate’s design follows the flow of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), with no impact on the organization’s environment and users
