Company named Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation, reinforcing leadership in continuous exposure validation
SANTA CLARA, Calif.: AttackIQ®, the leading vendor of Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solutions and founding research partner of the MITRE Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), today announced the release of AttackIQ Ready3. With expanded discovery capabilities, Ready3 continuously maps both internal and external attack surfaces. By correlating asset discovery with vulnerability context, attack paths and compensating controls, the platform helps security teams identify which vulnerabilities are truly exposed because existing defenses are failing to stop them. The context enables teams to prioritize what’s actually reachable by adversaries and validate whether their security controls can stand up to real-world attacks.
This release marks AttackIQ’s completed acquisition and integration of DeepSurface and transformation from a Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform into a full Adversarial Exposure Validation solution supporting Gartner CTEM. Ready3 empowers security teams to move from point-in-time testing to a continuous, context-driven exposure management strategy. The new release operationalizes the core pillars of the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework, helping organizations identify, validate and fix security gaps before adversaries can exploit them.
“Ready3 is more than a product release. It’s a complete redefinition of BAS,” said Carl Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at AttackIQ. “We’ve moved beyond BAS to deliver an AEV platform that continuously maps your attack surface, builds attack paths based on asset criticality and exposures and identifies the vulnerabilities that are truly reachable and unprotected. Most importantly, it validates whether your controls can actually interdict the attacks your organization is facing. This is how modern security teams fight smarter.”
What’s New in Ready3
Security teams are overwhelmed by alerts and CVEs, often without clear guidance on how to best prioritize them. Ready3 helps teams pinpoint which vulnerabilities are truly exposed—where attack paths exist and controls are failing, using prescriptive test recommendations and validated exposure insights that factor in asset criticality, vulnerability context and control effectiveness.
Ready3 also prioritizes which assets, and compensating controls will have the greatest impact on reducing the organization's overall risk. This allows teams to focus on the exposures that truly put the organization at risk and track measurable improvements in security posture over time.
Customers will now benefit from:
“Ready3 brings a new level of depth to discovery,” said George Tomic, Chief Development Officer at AttackIQ. “Security teams can now continuously map their entire attack surface, correlating assets, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across both native and third-party sources. That visibility lays the foundation for smarter testing, faster remediation and a more resilient defense posture.”
AttackIQ Recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide
Along with the launch of Ready3, AttackIQ announced today that it has been named as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation. AttackIQ supports all three key use cases outlined in the guide: optimizing defense effectiveness, improving exposure awareness and scaling offensive testing capabilities.
According to Gartner, “Through 2027, 40% of organizations will have adopted formal exposure validation initiatives, most relying on AEV technologies and managed service providers for maturity and consistency.” This growing momentum underscores the critical role of AEV platforms like AttackIQ in helping organizations continuously test, prioritize and remediate security gaps.
