Why AttackIQ Professional Services

Enable confident decisions and measurable security improvement through adversary-driven validation. AttackIQ Professional Services helps teams assess control effectiveness, prioritize remediation, and establish repeatable practices—such as CTEM and threat-informed defense—that scale as threats, environments, and operations evolve.

Adversary-Driven and Validation-Led

Anchor improvement efforts in real attacker behavior using MITRE ATT&CK–aligned techniques and continuous validation.

Execution Over One-Time Assessments

Establish repeatable processes, clear ownership, and a regular cadence that drives ongoing improvement.

Decisions,
Not Just Data

Translate validation results into clear priorities, and actionable remediation teams can execute with confidence.

Mature
and Scale

Evolve from initial validation to sustained exposure management as programs grow and threats change.

Simplify. Validate. Transform.

With the right operating model in place, AttackIQ Professional Services helps teams move beyond visibility to measurable security improvement.
