Case Study: Global Hedge Fund achieves continuous security validation and rapid testing of emerging threats with Cymulate

Hedge Fund Optimizes Testing Against Emerging Threats with Cymulate

Global Hedge Fund, a few-hundred-employee firm with a five-person security team, faced three core challenges: no way to continuously validate its security posture, difficulty rapidly testing emerging threats, and resource-heavy manual validation and analysis. The organization selected Cymulate and its automation platform (including the Advanced Scenarios module and research lab–built simulated attacks) to fill the offensive security automation gap and scale the small team’s capabilities.

Cymulate enabled continuous, production-safe validation of controls, customizable automated adversarial assessments, and immediate simulated attacks for newly discovered threats—allowing the hedge fund to send tests directly to production and cut validation time by about half. As a result of using Cymulate, the security team runs more frequent tests, gets clear remediation guidance, better evaluates tooling and detections, and maintains continuous visibility of risk and control efficacy.
