"Because design specs don't prove survival. Crash tests do. They separate theory from reality. Cybersecurity is no different. Dashboards overflow with "critical" exposure alerts. Compliance reports tick every box. But none of that proves what matters most to a CISO: The ransomware crew targeting your sector can't move laterally once inside. That a newly published exploit of a CVE won't bypass your defenses tomorrow morning."
"The Blue Report 2025 provides crash test data for enterprise security. Based on 160 million adversary simulations, it shows what actually happens when defenses are tested instead of assumed: Prevention dropped from 69% to 62% in one year. Even organizations with mature controls regressed. 54% of attacker behaviors generated no logs. Entire attack chains unfolded with zero visibility. Only 14% triggered alerts. Meaning most detection pipelines failed silently."
Design specifications, dashboards, and compliance checklists do not prove real-world security resilience; only active simulation reveals true defenses. Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) safely emulates real adversary behaviors to test prevention, detection, and response across attack chains. The Blue Report 2025 used 160 million adversary simulations and found prevention fell from 69% to 62%, 54% of attacker behaviors generated no logs, only 14% triggered alerts, and data exfiltration was stopped just 3% of the time. Simulated crash testing exposes invisible gaps, confirmed regression in mature environments, and prioritizes fixes that reduce business risk.
