Continuously emulate real attackersinside your environment.Validate. Detect. Respond.
Spakto executes real adversary tradecraft safely across your infrastructure to validate whether your security controls, detections, and teams can actually stop modern attacks — not just alert on them.
BAS is not alert testing.
It is attacker emulation.
Traditional security tools test whether detection rules fire on known signatures. Spakto BAS tests whether a real attacker can complete an objective — reconnaissance, execution, credential theft, lateral movement, and impact — safely and continuously.
Real-time adversary technique
coverage across all 14 MITRE tactics.
Detection Confidence Map
Validated detection performance across MITRE ATT&CK tactics. Each technique reflects real alert behavior, latency, and signal quality.

MITRE ATT&CK Coverage Validation
Measure your true defensive coverage
Continuously simulate mapped adversary TTPs across all 14 MITRE tactics to measure detection coverage, identify blind spots, and quantify defensive effectiveness against real threat actors.
How Spakto BAS works.
Telemetry to validated intelligence.
Connect Telemetry
EDR · SIEM · Cloud APIs · Identity
Spakto ingests from all security data sources with read-only API connections — EDR agents, SIEM platforms, cloud provider APIs, and identity providers. Zero write access required across any source.
Stage-by-stage attacker playbook
executed, validated, scored.
Every simulation follows a structured kill-chain sequence mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Select a tactic stage, fire the emulation, and watch real-time technique execution logs with pass/block verdicts from your controls.
Every control. Every tactic.
Every gap made visible.
BAS maps each control layer against every MITRE ATT&CK tactic, scoring detection confidence from live simulation runs — not theoretical coverage claims.

Every technique. Every verdict.
Timestamped and auditable.
BAS replays attacker sequences from a structured playbook and records every detection, block, and miss — with timestamps, latency, and control attribution for forensic-grade reporting.

Frequently asked
questions.
answered
BAS continuously simulates real-world adversary techniques across your environment to validate detection, response, and control effectiveness without disrupting production systems.
No. BAS platforms are designed to safely emulate adversary behavior using controlled techniques that validate security controls without causing operational disruption.
BAS maps simulations directly to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques (TTPs), allowing security teams to measure precise coverage, gaps, and detection confidence.
Key metrics include detection latency, TTP coverage percentage, adversary success probability, false negative rate, and remediation velocity.
Penetration testing is periodic and human-driven. BAS is continuous, automated, and aligned to evolving threat intelligence such as MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
It validates detection coverage, response workflows, alert quality, control enforcement, identity exposure, lateral movement resistance, and time-to-detect metrics.
Yes. BAS provides defensible, evidence-based validation that controls are functioning as intended — supporting frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF.
Yes. Modern BAS platforms scale across cloud, endpoint, identity, SaaS, and hybrid infrastructures with role-based reporting for security teams and executives.
