Cybersecurity includes both playing a good guy and a bad guy. Diving deep into advanced technology, but there is also a robber in the dark network. Definition of technical policy as well as the behavior of the attacker profiling. Security teams cannot be focused on simple current, they must inhabit the attacker’s thinking.
Aev comes here.
AEV (checking the confrontation) is a advanced offense technology that mimics how opponents will attack your system while providing recovery strategies. This allows you to detect and decide how your environment can be used and what impact can be dynamically and constantly.
In this article, we will share everything you need to know about AEV and how your team can use it to create constant resilience to the attacks.
What is AEV?
As depending on Gartner® market guide by verification of impact verification (March 2025) AEV is defined as “technologies that give consistent, continuous and automated evidence of the expediency of the attack”. AEV works by imitation of cyber-departments, giving organizations an understanding of how attackers can penetrate into their networks. This allows organizations to take appropriate security measures for effective safety gaps.
Aev Technologies effectively consolidates previously insulated security test methods such as Automated Testing for penetration and BAS (violation and modeling attack). Hartner says: “As the two markets developed and the overlapping opportunities, two functions approached the unification of offensive technologies.”
The focus is on replicating the actual thinking of the enemy. Combining the width of the automated five -tank and the BAS -oriented impact, AEV allows you to constantly test that reflect how real attackers adapt over time. Organizations can constantly imitate how the attackers work, giving more insightful confirmation of vulnerabilities and how best to correct them.
As AEV supports exposure management
AEV appeared as a technological solution to support CTEM (constant management of threats) Practice. CTEM-is a comprehensive program that helps organizations determine vulnerabilities and exposure, determine the risk profiles of digital assets, put the risk softening and then follow the shipment.
Here’s how AEV objects CTEM:
- Mechanism of filtration – Instead of creating large lists of general conclusions, AEV narrows the vulnerabilities, recognized actually exploited. The process that confirms the legitimacy of security issues and evaluates how easy it is to access threats. This approach is much more effective than traditional patch-all methods, as it only performs high-risk problems, and in the process determines benign exhibitions and does not actually guarantee correction.
- Continuous nature – Instead of a single event or short interaction, permanent and frequent automated AEV tests support the permanent feedback cyte of CTEM opening, testing and recovery. This helps to ensure eternal readiness for the attack even in the conditions of new threat methods, and the IT -USD changes and develops new improper software content.
- Real testing – The staging conditions often do not represent the real conditions in which the attackers use the environment. These include erroneous configurations, muzzle records, data abnormalities and complex integrations. Some AEV tools are the best breeds decided by this, saving safely in production conditions, making them much more accurate and effective when detecting vulnerabilities that can lead to catastrophic effects.
- Recovery outside the fix – In addition to the simple correction of CVE, AEV determines that for the recovery, for example, they have replaced the exposed credentials, introducing the principle of the slightest privilege, correction of incorrect conditions, replacement of dangerous software and more. This is in agreement with the CEM Recovery Guide, which is holistic to reduce the impact of potential threats and risks.
AEV for red commands
AEV automatically determines how the attacker can combine several vulnerabilities in different conditions. This makes it the main product in any set of red team.
With AEV, red teams can easier to model attack scenarios. These include complex such as attackers who jump between cloud infrastructure and Prem systems, or turn through various network segments, overcoming the existing controls and the combination of the exposition with a low scale.
The red teams equipped with AEV information get a clear idea of how a decisive attacker can move away, allowing them to scale their efforts and a rapid mitigation of the consequences. To organize AEV provides cost -effective red team and even allows the red -level red level to provide quality results. Genai is expected to increase this even more by giving ideas and explanations of complex attack scenarios.
AEV for blue commands
For blue teams Aev provides a strong start. With AEV defenders can see before the attack, which defense is really reliable, which requires strengthening and what control is actually superfluous. This helps the defenders guarantee that their safety posture works at best using the trend to show that the program is working as expected.
Blue commands can use understanding and data from AEV for:
- Set up stack detection
- Changes of preventive posture
- The priority of impact
- Checking provider
- Safety Safety Tables
- Other operations either control improvements
AEV for safety sustainability
AEV is designed to ensure continuous, automated and realistic modeling how attackers could use weaknesses in defense of the organization. No wonder it quickly arises as the main technology in cybersecurity. With AEV, security groups receive a proven check of how you can use the exposition in their environment, and for what purpose, which allows for a faster pace and effective recovery. This necessary clarity is key to forming cyber -resistance.
