Adversary Emulation that Mirrors Your Production Reality
Your environment isn’t a lab—it’s a living forest: legacy trunks, new growth SaaS, overgrown clearings of unused agents, hidden paths attackers love. VanatorX was built inside forests like yours. We emulate real operator behavior across hosts, identities and timing so you can reveal what still works, what silently broke and where you’re blind.
Launch multi‑stage campaigns, observe telemetry end‑to‑end, schedule canary reruns and surface bypass drift automatically. Continuous detection effectiveness becomes an always‑on signal, not a quarterly hope exercise.
Why Full-Chain Emulation & Continuous Re‑Validation
Atomic or point-in-time checks tell you a rule once fired. They do not tell you if a policy change, agent update, log routing tweak, enrichment timeout or identity control quietly eroded coverage last night. Our chains recreate attacker pacing across initial access → foothold → discovery → privilege → lateral movement → collection → exfiltration, then schedule lightweight canary campaigns to prove it still works tomorrow.
Operator Terminal & Chain Orchestrator
- Command timeline with variables, macros & replay
- Profiles for pacing / OPSEC (noise, delay, jitter)
- Inline evidence capture & purple handoff notes
On‑Disk & Living-Off-The-Land Tradecraft
- Staging, dropper & scheduled persistence variants
- Signed vs unsigned & LOLBin execution comparisons
- Deterministic cleanup for safe iterative runs
Bypass & Drift Assessment
- Rule fragility surfacing via slight behavior mutations
- AMSI / script block / DLL search order probes
- Baseline vs latest run diff: what silently stopped alerting
Multi‑Vector Campaigns
- Phish → foothold → credential access → lateral movement
- Discovery & staging culminating in exfiltration
- Realistic delays + optional time‑warp acceleration
Scheduled Canary Campaigns = Ongoing Assurance
Pick critical chains (credential theft, lateral movement, staging & exfil) and schedule them as low‑impact canaries. We automatically compare telemetry & alert deltas between prior and latest runs so you know exactly when a configuration, content update or policy change degraded visibility. Receive diff summaries in weekly executive‑friendly reports.
- Auto re‑run cadence (hourly to weekly) with jitter to avoid tuning bias
- Signal regression scoring & coverage heatmaps
- Missed detection → suggested analytic / data source gap
Evidence‑Rich Reporting & Stakeholder Translation
Collections of raw logs don’t persuade leadership. VanatorX condenses why something matters: chain timeline, ATT&CK coverage delta, dwell time reduction, rule fragility notes and remediation guidance. Export tailored views for executives, engineers or auditors.
- Executive snapshot: assurance score, trend, material regressions
- Engineer workbook: failed steps with raw artifact references
- Audit / compliance pack: evidence bundle + immutability hash
Quantifiable Outcomes
We track the metrics that prove operational control—not vanity. Every run updates rolling baselines so you can defend budget and demonstrate resilience.
- Dwell time & mean‑time‑to‑detect per phase
- Coverage by tactic / technique (ATT&CK) with deltas
- Signal regression & noise compression (duplicate collapse)
- Top failing steps → recommended detection patterns
- Data source sufficiency & enrichment latency flags

FAQs
Is it safe to run in production?
We support pre‑prod mirrors plus guarded production canaries: scoped identities, rate‑limited actions, cleanup verification and abort switches. Most teams blend both for fastest feedback.
How is this different from BAS?
BAS = atomic, appliance driven. VanatorX = operator realism, adaptive chains, regression aware and evidence bundles that drive engineering change—not screenshots.
Do we need dedicated staff?
Initial enablement is under a day. Prebuilt profiles + scheduled canaries keep assurance alive between deep-dive purple sessions.
