Mitigant Attack Builder: Custom Cloud Attacks in Seconds

‍

One of the most common requests we hear from security teams is the ability to build custom attacks at any time, with ease and without having to sacrifice quality. This is an important capability for security teams that want to address the evolving threat landscape and stay ahead of threats. Today, we're thrilled to announce Attack Builder; now available in early access. Do you want to influence the next evolution of cloud security testing ? We would like to hear your voice and tap from your experience.

The Problem: Security Teams Are Moving Too Slowly

Modern cloud security teams face a constant barrage of urgent needs:

• Validating new security controls before they go live and while they are fully operational in production environments.
• Testing emerging attack techniques highlighted in fresh threat intelligence.
• Meeting specific compliance requirements that demand empirical evidence.
• Responding to architecture changes that could introduce new attack vectors.
• Repeatability and continuity of efforts that enable swift decision making built atop existing knowledge, security testing processes and outcomes.

When these situations arise, security teams traditionally have a few, non-optimal options:

Wait days or weeks for vendor updates: By the time their Breach and Attack Simulation platform adds support for a new attack technique, the threat landscape has already evolved. Eventually, organization continue playing catch-up.

Spend hours writing and debugging custom scripts: Security engineers become script maintainers rather than security validators. Hours disappear while reading AWS CLI documentation, debugging Python code, and maintaining a graveyard of one-off attack tools that break with every API change.

Settle for "close enough" with existing tools: Generic attacks that don't reflect your specific cloud architecture, threat model, or business context. Security teams eventually test what's convenient, not what's critical.

We heard this pain point repeatedly from security teams using Mitigant's Cloud Attack Emulation platform. The message was clear: defenders need speed and flexibility without sacrificing quality or safety.

The Solution: Attack Builder

Attack Builder is an extension of Mitigant's proven  Cloud Attack Emulation platform. It is designed to afford security teams the power to create custom attacks in seconds, not days.

Here's what makes it different:

Speed Without Complexity: Create custom AWS attacks within seconds using an intuitive form-based interface. No scripting knowledge required.

Intelligent Auto-Complete: Stop hunting through AWS CLI documentation. Our smart auto-complete suggests commands as you type, complete with descriptions and parameter guidance.

Automatic MITRE ATT&CK Mapping: Every attack you create is automatically mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. No manual classification needed, we handle the tedious framework alignment for you.

Safe Testing Environment: Test your attacks before deploying them to production. Validate syntax, verify permissions, and ensure your attack works as expected, all in a controlled environment.

Team Collaboration: Build once, share everywhere. Custom attacks can be shared across your organization, creating institutional knowledge that doesn't walk out the door when team members leave.

AI-Powered Insights: Get intelligent summaries of attack results, trend analysis over time, and actionable recommendations powered by AI. We recently added powerful AI features, more detail in the feature release blog article - https://www.mitigant.io/en/blog/feature-release-leveraging-ai-for-adversary-emulation

Who the Attack Builder Is For

Attack Builder is perfect for every security professional who want to perform offensive security testing, seamlessly including:

• Red and purple teams validating attack paths, defense-in-depth strategies and other aspects of their daily jobs.
• Detection engineers tuning SIEM rules and testing alert coverage.
• Penetration testers building repeatable, shareable test scenarios.
• Threat hunters testing hypotheses about adversary behavior.
• Security vendors building testing capabilities at scale.
• Penetration Testing: Perfect for in-house penetration testing tasks, as well as penetration testing consultancies and service providers.

Join the Waitlist

We're opening early access to a limited group of beta users for AWS support. Azure and Kubernetes support is on the roadmap.

Security teams need to move faster than threats. Attack Builder makes that possible. Do you want to influence the next evolution of cloud security testing ? We would like to hear your voice and tap from your experience.
