GuidePoint Security Delivers Breach and Attack Simulation as a Service

GuidePoint Security is offering its Breach & Attack Simulation as a Service (BASaaS) to help organizations improve their security posture and get the most value out of their BAS tool investments.

Organizations can use GuidePoint's BASaaS to develop simulation strategies built around the technology within their IT environment and industry-specific threat intelligence, the company said in a prepared statement. That way, they can deploy their BAS sensors in accordance with best practices and verify that their BAS tools are configured properly.

In addition, BASaaS provides organizations with dashboards and reports customized to their needs, GuidePoint noted. It also connects organizations to BAS tool vendors to ensure that new features are implemented correctly and any issues are addressed right away.

Victor Wieczorek, GuidePoint's vice president of Application security and Threat and Attack Simulation, commented on the BASaaS release and what it delivers:

Also, Cequence will offer its Unified API Protection solution under GuidePoint's General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule Contract #GS-35F-508CA.
