How often can we run validations?

CSPM/KSPM (Continuous):

  • Always-on monitoring
  • Real-time detection of changes
  • Immediate alerts for new issues
  • No manual triggering required

CAE (Flexible Scheduling):

  • Automated Scheduling: Use Attack Scheduler for recurring campaigns (daily, weekly, custom intervals)
  • On-Demand Execution: Run attacks anytime with button clicks
  • Continuous Validation: Aligns with CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) methodology

Perfect for:

  • After deploying new security controls (CAE)
  • During incident response exercises (CAE)
  • When responding to new threat intelligence (CAE)
  • For compliance audits (all products)
  • Post-incident validation that remediation worked (CAE + CSPM)

This continuous/flexible approach contrasts sharply with annual penetration tests—you get ongoing assurance instead of point-in-time validation.


What frameworks does the Mitigant Platform align with?

Attack Frameworks (CAE):

  • MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise: All cloud attack techniques mapped
  • MITRE ATLAS: AI/ML security techniques for GenAI workloads
  • Over 200 techniques across both frameworks

Compliance Frameworks (CSPM/KSPM):

  • ISO 27001
  • SOC 2
  • HIPAA
  • BSI C5 (German cloud security standard)
  • CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes
  • NIS2 Directive (European cybersecurity requirements)
  • DORA
  • NIST

Security Methodologies (All Products):

  • CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management): Aligns with Gartner's methodology
  • Threat-Informed Defense: Use threat intelligence to prioritize security investments
  • Security Chaos Engineering: Research-based approach to building cyber resilience
