OpenAEV vs ShadowBreach

OpenAEV is an Adversarial Exposure Validation platform for creating cyberattack simulations, stress tests, and crisis exercises. Its breach and attack simulations draw on cyber threat intelligence and map scenarios to MITRE ATT&CK and ATLAS. Attack Chaining links actions into paths based on findings; teams can orchestrate these manually or use dedicated agents. Structured tabletop exercises are available for evaluating readiness, escalation, coordination, communication, and response. Adversarial Exposure Scoring tracks posture over time and maps coverage to MITRE ATT&CK and domain-based controls. The product lists more than 30 integrations and connections to OpenCTI, threat feeds, EDR/XDR, SIEM, and SOC playbooks. Deployment options include cloud, on-premise, and multi-tenant setups, with air-gapped and bring-your-own-cloud options listed for Enterprise Edition. Community Edition is free forever for on-premise core simulations and tabletop exercises, with community support. Enterprise Edition pricing is quote-based, and its SaaS trial lasts 30 days. Components are available as Docker images and manual installation packages; Kubernetes is recommended for production deployments.

ShadowBreach is an AI-enabled cyber operations platform from Markon Solutions for planning, executing, and documenting attack activity within a local environment. It is designed for red team operations, exercise red cells, and repeatable test and evaluation. The platform parses threat and vulnerability data for continuous testing and self-service red team work. Operators set escalation thresholds, while the system records the reasoning behind actions and maintains a decision trail during an engagement. Its adversary emulation adapts tactics when defensive actions change. Teams can rerun standardized test packs against new builds, schedule testing continuously, and scale scenarios across training audiences. Framework-mapped reporting is generated during operations to reduce manual documentation while retaining operator authority. Markon is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, United States. ShadowBreach is paid with pricing on request; Markon invites prospective users to contact its team and request a product demo. No third-party integrations, certification, compliance standard, or support terms are listed.
