Continuous Security Validation

Continuous security validation allows a company to replicate and simulate full-scale attacks on its enterprise assets. They do this using software agents, virtual machines, and other tools. This process helps you to test and strengthen your security measures regularly.

4 key benefits to Continuous Security Validation

Spotting policy mismatches

It helps find mismatches in security controls by simulating threats. This lets organizations see where they’re vulnerable and make security improvements.

Boosting security solutions

Continuous Security Validation makes security tools more effective by pinpointing gaps in rules and ensuring accurate threat detection. This improves the performance of tools like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and more.

Choosing priorities

It helps you focus on important areas by showing gaps and indicating which threats specific measures can block. This way, security efforts are directed where they matter most.

Tracking detection changes

Continuous security validation keeps an eye on detection coverage. When you regularly test security controls, it highlights trends in detection effectiveness. This helps your company react quickly to any drops in your security performance.
