Adversarial Exposure is redefining how organisations approach cybersecurity. By providing continuous validation to help achieve true cyber resilience. The imperative for modern businesses is clear: it's no longer if you will face a cyber incident, but when. This reality has elevated the concept of Cyber Resilience from a buzzword to a fundamental operational requirement. Resilience,
At the recent MITRE ATT&CK conference, ATT&CKCon in Washington, leading MSSP Red Canary presented an interesting keynote presentation on how they advise organisations should use MITRE ATT&CK in cyber defence. The first takeaway is: Don't boil the ocean. Many organisations waste their time and efforts on vanity statistics, particularly when trying to map their detection
The NIS2 Directive represents a significant evolution in the European Union's approach to cybersecurity, aiming to bolster the resilience of network and information systems across various critical sectors. This directive not only updates the previous NIS1 framework but also expands its scope, introducing more stringent requirements for member states and organisations alike. In this article,
Forbes Technology Council is an invitation-only community for leading CIOs, CTOs, and top-tier technology executives Cheltenham, United Kingdom – September 19, 2025 – Validato CEO & Co-Founder Ronan Lavelle joins the prestigious Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community reserved for the world’s leading CIOs, CTOs, and technology executives. Lavelle was hand-selected by a review committee
Cybersecurity is a constant battle, with threat actors continuously evolving their methods. The emergence of AI-powered ransomware represents a significant leap forward in this arms race, posing a new challenge for defenders. A recent proof-of-concept (POC) developed by the University of New York (NYU) highlights just how dangerous this threat could become. The researchers at
Continuous Security Controls Validation is a crucial component of a mature cybersecurity program. It moves beyond traditional point-in-time assessments to provide ongoing, real-time insights into an organisation's security posture. In today's threat landscape, which is marked by sophisticated and rapidly evolving attacks like supply chain compromises and AI-driven social engineering, CISOs need to prove the
In the dynamic cybersecurity landscape of 2025, the adage "it's not if, but when" has never been more pertinent. Cybercriminals are more sophisticated, and attack vectors are constantly evolving. A reactive approach to security is a relic of the past. To stay ahead, organisations must embrace a proactive, systematic strategy: Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).
The Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) market is still relatively new for many companies and like all new ideas and concepts, it can take some time to fully understand how to embrace, so here are five key things that you should expect from a BAS tool. Validate security control effectiveness • test endpoint • lateral
Demonstrating Continuous Compliance for pivotal regulations like the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the revised Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) demands a profound evolution beyond traditional approaches. It necessitates a fundamental shift in mindset, moving decisively away from a static, audit-driven, and often reactive posture. The old paradigm, where cybersecurity compliance might
The journey towards genuine, Continuous Compliance is far more than an exercise in drafting policies and implementing security controls. It demands a profound, persistent, and practical understanding of one crucial question: are our defences truly effective against sophisticated, ever-evolving adversaries? This is where the discipline of Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) – often termed Security Controls
Validato provides an unbiased assessment of an organisation’s ability to defend against adversary behaviours related to known threats, as described in the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base.
