The company emphasizes the need for BAS to leverage AI to automatically generate and update attack simulations, reducing reliance on manual red teams.", "body_md": "Breach and attack simulation (BAS) has always had a supply chain. Somebody has to read the threat report, pull out the techniques, and turn them into something that will actually run against your controls. That somebody has always been a human red team. Up until a few months ago, turning a major new threat into working simulation content within 24 hours counted as very fast. Frontier AI models broke the symmetry.
