Case Study: Government Services Contractor for DOD achieves continuous MITRE ATT&CK operationalization and validated exfiltration protection with AttackIQ

Government Services Contractor Company - Customer Case Study

Government Services Contractor Company, an award‑winning Department of Defense services contractor with a growing cybersecurity and information assurance practice, faced the need to detect attackers early in the kill chain, prevent data exfiltration, and continually catch configuration drift across locked‑down but changing environments. To operationalize MITRE ATT&CK assessments (previously performed by consultants) and automate ongoing validation, the company selected AttackIQ and its breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform.

AttackIQ’s BAS platform was deployed to emulate full adversary kill‑chain activity across test and live production environments, validate Carbon Black EDR tuning and SIEM alerting, and automate MITRE ATT&CK evaluations. As a result, Government Services Contractor Company continuously validates control performance, immediately identifies configuration drift and gaps, feeds remediations into ServiceNow for triage, and runs weekly risk‑council reviews driven by AttackIQ findings — improving incident response and verifying protection against known exfiltration techniques.
