Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation
BAS (Breach and Attack Simulation) is a rapidly growing emerging security
validation technology that has gained significant popularity
worldwide in recent years. Similar to traditional security testing
and validation methods such as vulnerability scanning (VA),
penetration testing (PT), or red team exercises,
BAS shares the same objective. It uses real-world intrusion
intelligence to build a script database and validates security
by conducting actual script-based tests.

Cymulate makes detection simple
Cymulate’s advanced technology allows businesses
or organizations to initiate automated simulated
cyberattacks on their own, enabling the immediate
and timely discovery of exposed security vulnerabilities.
It also provides detailed, actionable remediation guidance
that can be implemented right away.

Case Study (1) - Equipment Security Protection Verification for a Semiconductor Foundry – Cymulate BAS

Description:
Cymulate BAS is a real-time solution for automating simulated multi-faceted attacks by hackers. It provides cybersecurity personnel within organizations a consistent approach for continuous and real-time intrusion and attack simulations, including internal threats, lateral movement, and data exfiltration. The entire process—from prevention and detection to response—is continuously automated. BAS allows IT organizations to understand potential attack vectors and generates prioritized protection recommendations and risk reports after each simulation.

Example:
A major semiconductor foundry has long focused on cybersecurity and heavily invested in multiple security devices. To verify that the security devices they implemented were achieving their claimed protective effects, they adopted the well-known BAS solution, Cymulate. During the POC process, several security vulnerabilities and risks were identified, leading to the formal implementation of Cymulate with regular testing. Based on the reports, they required their cybersecurity vendors to propose improvements and risk mitigation measures. Additionally, during the POC process, special circumstances in the actual environment were encountered. For example, while Cymulate is a cloud-based service, the actual OT environment could not connect to the internet for real-world testing, leading to the need for an external lab to simulate and validate the protection of OT cybersecurity devices.

Results:
Cymulate BAS helped identify vulnerabilities in the client’s current cybersecurity protection. Based on the reports, the client required cybersecurity vendors to provide improvement plans and methods to avoid risks. Furthermore, the client was pleasantly surprised by the results of the Cymulate LAB, as it operated in an offline environment, preventing any impact on production. It not only solved the issue of OT cybersecurity devices being unable to connect to the internet for real-world testing but also addressed the problem of certain devices being unable to decrypt HTTPS traffic. This approach helped simulate the real challenges faced by the OT environment. As a result, the client decided to conduct further testing of more OT devices in the LAB and even expressed interest in including IT devices in the testing.

Case Study (2) - Online Game Provider’s Network Acceleration and Cloud Security Solution - Cloudflare

Description:
Cloudflare is one of the most powerful providers of enterprise network optimization and protection services globally, offering cloud security solutions for network acceleration and security. It currently handles about 25% of the world’s internet traffic.

Example:
A game provider, whose majority of users access its online services via the internet, faced challenges in handling high bandwidth usage and cybersecurity concerns, particularly regarding DDoS attacks. After evaluating different solutions, they adopted the Cloudflare Enterprise plan to address both issues simultaneously.

• The solution resolved the slow connection speeds to the Taiwan data center in the Greater China and Asia regions, improving customer satisfaction.

• During special events, Cloudflare’s acceleration features alleviated congestion and handled the demands of high simultaneous connections, including video streaming.

Results:
• Reduced Latency: Cloudflare’s global Content Delivery Network (CDN) caches service resources on servers closer to users, reducing load times and latency, which enhances the user experience.

• DDoS Protection: Cloudflare provides robust DDoS protection, effectively countering large-scale attacks and ensuring the stability and availability of services, preventing service disruptions caused by attacks.

• Enhanced Security: With its Web Application Firewall (WAF) and other security features, Cloudflare helps developers protect against common security threats such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting attacks, safeguarding user data and services.

• High Availability: Cloudflare’s load balancing ensures that even if one server fails, users are automatically redirected to another available server, maintaining service continuity.

• API Acceleration: For online services dependent on backend APIs, Cloudflare accelerates API request response times, further enhancing overall service performance.

• Analytics and Monitoring: Cloudflare provides detailed traffic analysis, helping providers understand user behavior and optimize operational strategies.

Overall, Cloudflare not only improves game performance and security but also delivers significant benefits in user experience and business operations.
