Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)

What is the difference between BAS and continuous posture validation?

Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and continuous posture validation represent two distinct approaches to cybersecurity assessment. While BAS focuses on simulating specific attack scenarios at scheduled intervals to test defenses, continuous posture validation offers ongoing, real-time monitoring of security configurations across your infrastructure. The key distinction lies in their operational models: BAS provides point-in-time assessments,
