Threat Emulation
Automated Simulations of Real Attacks
How does it work?
The threat emulation service is based on the BAS (Breach and Attack Simulation) solution, which executes real malicious code or known attack behaviors (such as lateral movement, payload execution, credential collection, etc.) in a monitored environment. The platform continuously simulates threats, replicating tactics and procedures (TTPs) used by real attackers, based on frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.

simulated real attacks with security
Through the BAS platform, your organization can simulate real attack behavior – such as lateral movement, credential collection and payload execution – in a secure and monitored environment. Test your defenses accurately without compromising operations.

continuous validation of defense tools
Check that your EDR, firewall, NDR, SIEM and other solutions are reacting as they should. The service identifies detection and response gaps, ensuring that your security stack is aligned with the most current threats in the cyber landscape.

offensive intelligence based on MITRE ATT&CK
The simulation is guided by tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) from the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This makes it possible to test the effectiveness of security against real attacks, based on what adversary groups actually use in the world.

benefits
realistic training for security teams
The service allows SOC analysts and Blue Teams to practice in a real threat environment, increasing operational maturity and reducing incident response times. It’s hands-on learning, at the pace and in the context of your environment.

reduction of false positives and alert noise
By testing real scenarios, the service helps to refine the detection rules and alert thresholds of the tools already installed. This reduces the number of irrelevant notifications and improves security assertiveness.

continuous improvement of the security posture
With recurring reports and comparative analysis between executions, it is possible to follow the evolution of defenses over time. Visibility into what has improved – or worsened – allows for continuous strategic adjustments based on real data.

Questions and answers
Although similar in purpose, pentest is a manual, one-off test focused on finding specific vulnerabilities in systems. Threat emulation, on the other hand, is automated, continuous and guided by real adversary behavior, based on frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. It focuses on validating the functioning of detection and response mechanisms, and not just finding configuration or code flaws.
No. Emulation is carried out in a controlled and secure manner, with carefully managed attack loads. The environment is monitored in real time, and the simulations are designed not to compromise the operation of production systems, respecting the limits and rules defined with the client.
The service allows for both models. You can set up one-off simulations, for specific tests, or continuous simulations, to monitor whether new faults appear over time – especially useful in dynamic and constantly changing environments.
Yes. Threat emulation is a practical way of proving that security controls are in place – something required by standards such as ISO 27001, LGPD, PCI-DSS, NIST, SOC 2, among others. In addition, the reports generated serve as technical evidence in security audits.
Security tools can generate false positives or miss real attacks, especially when poorly configured. BAS realistically tests whether these tools are actually detecting what they should. It validates in practice what works and what doesn’t – based on real attacks, not assumptions.
