Cymulate Platform continuously validates security controls against real-world threats and provides guidance for improving defenses.

Cymulate says its threat library covers MITRE ATT&CK and that new simulations for US-CERT advisories have a 24-hour SLA. Vero AI tailors threat assessments to a customer’s environment, helps prioritize findings, and supports mitigation creation. Listed partners include AWS GuardDuty, CrowdStrike, Splunk, and Anthropic Claude. The platform is designed for security operations, detection engineering, red teams, and exposure management teams, including mid-market and enterprise organizations. A free trial provides partial platform simulation for 14 days unless a quote specifies another period; pricing is on request and depends on package, assets, and scenarios. Cymulate says the platform runs on a private AWS tenant across multiple regions. It lists security certifications and compliance frameworks, protects traffic with TLS 1.2 or higher, and encrypts stored data with AES-256. Customers must provide equipment, infrastructure, servers, and third-party software or licenses required by the platform prerequisites.
