Case Study: Large Military Organization strengthens cybersecurity controls and speeds detection and response with AttackIQ

Large Military Organization - Customer Case Study

Large Military Organization struggled to consistently test and validate cybersecurity controls across mission-critical infrastructure and wanted to move from reactive responses to proactive, repeatable assessments. After evaluating several vendors, the organization selected AttackIQ and its Security Optimization Platform for its MITRE ATT&CK–aligned attack simulation playbooks, benign emulation approach, and ability to run automated and targeted tests without introducing real malware.

AttackIQ deployed the Security Optimization Platform to run periodic and on‑demand emulations, integrate threat intelligence, and support training and control auditing. Prototypes and exercises (including a power‑plant test that surfaced actionable results within the first 30 minutes) demonstrated faster detection and response to specific threats, more frequent and measurable control validation compared with annual red‑teaming, reduced vulnerabilities across mission systems, improved analyst training and talent management, and data‑driven acceleration of procurement decisions.
