About Validato allows IT and Security teams to test the effectiveness of security controls by simulating adversarial behaviors based on known threat scenarios. Validato provides unbiased data and finding on how effective security controls are at detecting and protecting against exploitation of MITRE ATT&CK Techniques. If you are looking to implement a Threat-Informed Defense approach to cyber defense, then Validato is an excellent choice for you.	About Networks change constantly and that creates problems for IT and security operations. Gaps open exposing pathways that attackers can exploit. While enterprise security controls like firewalls, intrusion prevention, vulnerability management and endpoint tools attempt to secure your network, breaches are still possible. The last line of defense must include constant analysis of daily exposures caused by exploitable vulnerabilities, common configuration mistakes, mismanaged credentials and legitimate user activity that exposes systems to risk of attack. Why are hackers still successful despite significant investments in security controls? Several factors make securing your network difficult, mostly because of overwhelming alerts, never-ending software updates and patches, and numerous vulnerability notifications. Those responsible for security must research and evaluate piles of data without context. Risk reduction is almost impossible.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Great price. Validato focuses on testing how Windows, Linux and Mac functions are manipulated and exploited by threat actors, rather than emulating IOCs and vulnerability exploitations. Cons Cannot add custom offensive scripts (at time of writing)
