Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Adoption in Daily Security Operations
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
The Picus Breach and Simulation (BAS) Summit highlighted the shift from compliance-based security to continuous validation through BAS. Security professionals emphasized the importance of testing defenses against real-world threats, rather than relying on assumptions. BAS has evolved into a daily practice, stress-testing defenses to ensure they respond effectively to actual attacks. The summit showcased practical applications of BAS in various industries, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. BAS is increasingly integrated into Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) strategies, providing actionable insights and prioritizing patching efforts based on real risk. The event also discussed the role of AI in enhancing BAS, focusing on curation rather than creation, to ensure accurate and efficient threat emulation.
