Filigran, the award-winning, global cybersecurity leader that has helped shape the future of modern security validation. They accomplished this through the launch of a new open-source Adversary Emulation Validation (AEV) platform. This smart new approach has greatly reduced the preparation time for the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) of Switzerland for its crisis exercises. Congratulations to them on making such an impressive 80% improvement! With its CEO and co-founder Samuel Hassine at the helm, Filigran is setting new standards in cybersecurity by going beyond traditional methods.
The AEV platform is the biggest leap forward in the security validation industry. Unlike conventional Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools, Filigran’s platform offers a proactive approach, continuously assessing adversaries’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) as well as the most likely attack paths. This ongoing cycle of evaluation enables organizations to be proactive against emerging threats and strengthens their security posture as a whole.
Transforming Crisis Management
The collaboration between Filigran and the FDFA suggests practical applications of this disruptive technology. The AEV platform reduces setup time for disaster drills. This allows enterprises to distribute their resources more effectively and focus on what matters the most in managing security.
” Our goal is to empower organizations to not only respond to threats but to anticipate them,” he stated. By having a single AEV platform, preparation time is lowered tremendously. This newfound productivity from Microsoft’s efficiencies will empower security teams to invest more time and efforts into training and preparedness initiatives.
Plus, crisis exercises are of utmost importance to narrowing in on weaknesses in security procedures. The AEV platform takes these exercises to another level by placing organizations in real-world scenarios they could actually encounter. This new capability makes it possible for teams to be better prepared to respond to real-world incidents when they occur.
The Advantages of Continuous Validation
Filigran’s AEV solution provides a competitive edge with its ability to continuously validate and optimize for security. This decision making platform gives their member organizations the tools they need to better understand their defenses in real-time. Different from static, precognitive security measures that don’t react as new threats emerge.
First, continuous validation is the practice of perpetually checking the effectiveness of your security controls. This practice is extremely important in a world where cyber threats are constantly changing. Through the use of Filigran’s platform, organizations are able to become aware of their vulnerabilities and adapt their approach to prioritize their needs. This forward-thinking approach improves security and increases resilience against future attacks.
Additionally, by having its AEV platform open-sourced, there are greater opportunities for collaboration and innovation among the broader cybersecurity community. The summit is the first step in ensuring that organizations can contribute to and learn from one another’s experiences, creating a culture in which security practices can continually improve.
Setting New Standards in Cybersecurity
Through Filigran’s unending devotion to innovation, the company has established itself as a groundbreaking company in the cybersecurity space. The company’s focus on modern security validation reflects a growing recognition that traditional methods are no longer sufficient in addressing the complexities of today’s digital threats.
As businesses of all kinds become more digitally enabled, the need for effective security solutions is growing more urgent. Filigran’s AEV platform is uniquely positioned to meet this need, delivering an all-in-one solution for assessing and improving cybersecurity practices.
The reality today is that threats in cyberspace are becoming increasingly advanced. Samuel Hassine and his crew over at Filigran are pushing security to the next level. Their proactive approach ensures protection for organizations from the top-down while building trust and confidence with stakeholders.
