ShadowBreach vs Stratus Red Team

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.

Stratus Red Team is a free, open-source Go binary for running specific offensive attack techniques against a live cloud environment and checking detections. Its techniques map to MITRE ATT&CK, with coverage for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and Entra ID. For each technique, it can prepare prerequisites, detonate the activity, reverse side effects, and remove prerequisites. Terraform creates and removes required infrastructure, and Stratus downloads its own Terraform binary. Installation options include Go, Homebrew, pre-built Linux, Windows, and macOS binaries, and Docker. The tool can also operate as a Go library for automation and custom techniques. It supports Linux, macOS, Windows, API use, and self-hosting. Documentation recommends an administrator role in a sandbox account or test cluster, not production infrastructure. Kubernetes clusters must already exist, AWS customer-provided detonation infrastructure is unsupported, and Azure resources are fixed to West US.
