What is Breach and Attack Simulation?

Breach and Attack Simulation is an automated security technology that mimics real-world cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities in your organisation’s security controls. Unlike periodic penetration testing, ROSCA’s BAS platform runs continuously, testing your defences against the latest attack techniques without disrupting your business operations.

Cyber criminals are working round the clock to exploit weaknesses in your security posture. Research from the National Cyber Security Centre reveals that 39% of UK businesses identified a cyber attack in 2022, with the average cost of a breach reaching £4.2 million for large organisations.

How does ROSCA's Breach and Attack Simulation differ from penetration testing?

ROSCA’s Breach and Attack Simulation offers continuous assessment rather than the point-in-time snapshot provided by traditional penetration testing. While penetration tests typically occur once or twice a year, our BAS platform works constantly to validate your security controls against emerging threats.

Pen testing relies heavily on the expertise of individual testers, introducing potential inconsistencies in methodology and results. ROSCA’s BAS platform delivers consistent, repeatable testing frameworks that eliminate human variability whilst providing comprehensive coverage of your attack surface.

What security controls can ROSCA's BAS test?

ROSCA’s BAS can evaluate virtually all security controls across your organisation. This includes testing email security systems against phishing attempts, examining endpoint protection against malware, assessing network segmentation effectiveness, and validating data loss prevention mechanisms.

The technology simulates the entire kill chain, from initial access attempts through to data exfiltration tactics. By mapping these simulations to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, ROSCA provides clear visibility into exactly how well your security stack performs against specific threat techniques.

Recent studies conducted by Ponemon Institute found that organisations implementing BAS technologies identified 63% more security gaps than those relying solely on traditional testing methods.

Why choose ROSCA's Breach and Attack Simulation service?

ROSCA Technologies brings deep security expertise to our BAS offering, with consultants who understand both offensive security techniques and defensive strategies. This dual perspective ensures our simulations accurately reflect current attack methodologies.

Our platform integrates seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure, requiring minimal configuration whilst providing maximum insight. The intuitive management console makes complex security data accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Unlike generic BAS solutions, ROSCA’s platform includes industry-specific attack scenarios relevant to your business sector. This targeted approach ensures the simulations reflect the actual threats your organisation faces rather than theoretical attacks.

What benefits does ROSCA's BAS provide for security teams?

ROSCA’s BAS delivers actionable intelligence that transforms how security teams operate. By highlighting the most critical vulnerabilities with remediation guidance, it allows teams to prioritise their efforts effectively rather than drowning in an ocean of security alerts.

Security leaders gain comprehensive visibility into control effectiveness through intuitive dashboards and reports that demonstrate security posture improvements over time. This evidence-based approach helps justify security investments to board members and stakeholders who need clear ROI metrics.

Additionally, ROSCA’s BAS platform facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements by documenting security control efficacy against specific mandates. This automated documentation significantly reduces the administrative burden during audits and assessments.

How can organisations implement BAS effectively?

Implementing BAS effectively begins with a consultation with ROSCA’s security specialists who help define clear security goals and determine which critical assets require protection. This enables tailored simulations that reflect your actual threat landscape rather than generic scenarios.

Start with ROSCA’s focused testing of specific security domains before expanding to comprehensive assessments. This phased approach prevents overwhelming security teams while delivering immediate value in priority areas.

Integration with existing security tools—SIEM platforms, ticketing systems, and automation workflows—maximises efficiency by streamlining remediation processes and creating closed-loop improvement cycles.

Remember that BAS complements rather than replaces other security testing approaches. ROSCA Technologies can help build the most resilient security programmes that combine BAS with penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and red team exercises to create multi-layered validation of defensive capabilities.

FAQs

How quickly can ROSCA implement a BAS solution in our environment?

ROSCA Technologies can typically deploy our BAS platform within two weeks, with initial results available within days of implementation. Our agentless architecture and cloud-based management platform minimise deployment complexity, allowing for rapid time-to-value.

Does ROSCA's BAS solution require installing agents on all our systems?

No, ROSCA’s BAS platform primarily uses agentless techniques to simulate attacks, minimising the operational impact on your environment. Limited lightweight sensors may be deployed in specific scenarios, but these have negligible performance impact.

How does ROSCA keep its attack simulations current with emerging threats?

ROSCA’s threat intelligence team continuously monitors emerging attack techniques and updates our simulation library weekly. When critical new vulnerabilities emerge, simulation updates are fast-tracked to ensure your defences are tested against the latest threats within days of discovery.

Will running ROSCA's attack simulations disrupt our business operations?

ROSCA’s BAS platform is designed to operate safely without disrupting business operations. All simulations run with guardrails that prevent actual data encryption, exfiltration, or system damage. Our platform includes comprehensive safety mechanisms to prevent business impact.
