Adversary Emulation

Adversary emulation is a cybersecurity practice where professionals simulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures of real malicious hackers to test an organization’s defenses. By mimicking how an attacker might try to infiltrate systems, detect vulnerabilities, and move within a network, it helps identify weaknesses before actual attacks occur. This proactive approach allows organizations to strengthen their security measures, improve response strategies, and better understand the tactics used by adversaries. Essentially, it’s a controlled, safe way to think like an attacker in order to better defend against real threats.
