Microsoft Windows is the world’s most widely used desktop operating system (OS). It accounts for more than 70% of market share as of February 2024, according to market research firm Statista, and can be found on more than 1.4 billion active devices. As with any software vendor, Microsoft continuously evolves their OS with the release of updated versions that offer new features and functionality.

Ransomware remains one of the biggest security threats in 2024. This follows a concerning resurgence in 2023, where more than $450 million in ransomware payments were reported in the first half of the year alone. The proliferation of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) and the subsequent attacks against a variety of businesses—from the smallest start-up to the most powerful multinational—reinforce what security professionals already know: ransomware is not going away.

Organizational red teams are tasked with the critical responsibility of ensuring preparedness against real-world threats. But the ability to accurately replicate complex threat behavior can often be resource-intensive, expensive, and difficult to operationalize. As sophisticated threat actors continue to evolve their attack patterns, replicating this rapidly changing behavior can become nearly impossible.

When a large data company decided to migrate their systems fully to the cloud, their cybersecurity team knew it would be a challenge. The company’s senior security architect put it succinctly: “Our CTO said, we’re going completely to cloud. Everyone buckle up.” Though the organization had assets in the cloud for many years, the team wasn’t sure they were ready to be 100% in the cloud from a security standpoint.

Today's CISOs and security teams must constantly validate security controls to identify gaps, remediate misconfigurations, and optimize performance against a rapidly increasing threat landscape. Breach and attack simulation (BAS) solutions-designed to continuously test the effectiveness of security controls and identify potential vulnerabilities-have emerged as a powerful tool to help organizations navigate this new reality. But not all BAS platforms are created equal.

The mission of today's security teams is clear: protect the company from emerging cyber threats. What's less clear is how to ensure stakeholders understand the impact of their programs. Traditional security reporting focuses on threats and vulnerabilities and how many were stopped and prevented, but non-technical stakeholders-who are concerned with the business's bottom line and how these threats can impact business continuity-need to know how these activities translate to tangible business values. As risk is tied to revenue, security teams need a simple way to understand and share the real efficacy of their programs with their stakeholders.

There are a number of security validation methods available on the market today, but each has different uses and functions. And, not all of them are appropriate in every IT environment. As a result, many organizations waste time and resources on technologies or approaches that may work well for others, but aren't a good fit for their specific use case.
