Introducing AttackIQ's NIST CSF Automated Assessments

Key Visibility to Support NIST CSF Compliance

AttackIQ®, the leading independent vendor of breach and attack simulation solutions and a founding research partner of the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), today announced the launch of testing aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). This innovative solution enables organizations worldwide to gain important visibility to help support their compliance with NIST CSF.

Breach and Attack Simulation Support for NIST CSF

NIST CSF provides a voluntary, risk-based approach to help organizations of all sizes and industries manage their cybersecurity risk. NIST CSF is a flexible framework that can be customized to the specific needs of each organization. AttackIQ has released new NIST CSF assessments to simplify compliance testing by providing:

• Automated Threat Emulation: The NIST CSF assessments execute the top tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by adversaries known to target major organizations worldwide. These TTPs reflect the latest intelligence and threat research into the top methods used by cyber adversaries.
• Actionable Insights: The NIST CSF Assessment Report provides comprehensive recommendations and mitigation strategies for any testing scenario that was not prevented. The reports simplify the auditing process and provide demonstrable proof of your NIST CSF compliance efforts. Recommendations are derived from the extensive knowledge base of the AttackIQ research team, enriched with insights from MITRE ATT&CK standards and industry best practices.
• MITRE ATT&CK Alignment: The NIST CSF assessments align with MITRE ATT&CK, offering actionable insights in a framework leveraged by cybersecurity practitioners worldwide.

"AttackIQ empowers organizations to bolster their defenses against sophisticated attacks and simplify NIST CSF compliance," said Carl Wright, AttackIQ's Chief Commercial Officer. "Our assessments utilize real-world adversary tactics aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, automating emulations for a faster and more efficient path to compliance."

AttackIQ offers two test packages, Basic and Advanced, providing increasing degrees of testing capability. The NIST CSF Basic assessment evaluates essential, minimum functionalities of controls, providing a foundational understanding of their effectiveness. For a more in-depth analysis, the NIST CSF Advanced assessment utilizes more sophisticated and targeted TTPs to go beyond the scope of the Basic tests.

Organizations leverage AttackIQ to continuously test their security controls against real-world cyberattacks modeled on the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This allows them to identify weaknesses, prioritize security investments, and ensure their defenses are working effectively to prevent breaches and data loss.
