# Is a breach and attack simulation platform worth it for a mid-size security team?

Hi G2 community! We are researching breach and attack simulation (BAS) software that provides a good ROI for a mid-sized team

  1. Cymulate: The SaaS architecture means no on-premises infrastructure to deploy or maintain, which directly addresses the mid-size team's IT resource constraint. Cymulate highlights what is actually exploitable, which significantly improves how the team prioritizes remediation. 
  2. Picus Security: Agent installation is described as straightforward with well-structured documentation, and the platform's prebuilt attack simulations are explicitly noted as easier for teams without dedicated threat simulation specialists to utilize. The vendor-specific remediation output telling a team exactly which signature to download or which firmware to upgrade reduces the expertise required to act on simulation findings. 
  3. Adaptive Security: For mid-size teams where the most frequent attack surface is the employee population rather than complex infrastructure configurations, Adaptive Security's generative AI phishing and social engineering simulation directly addresses the highest-probability attack vector without requiring deep technical BAS expertise to operate. 
  4. Defendify All-In-One Cybersecurity Solution: For mid-size teams with limited security headcount that need BAS capability alongside vulnerability scanning, phishing simulation, and managed detection without maintaining separate vendor relationships for each, Defendify's all-in-one model reduces the operational overhead that makes individual enterprise tools impractical. 
  5. Right-Hand Cybersecurity: The behavioral coaching and continuous risk measurement provide a cost-effective entry point into the continuous security validation category without the full complexity of an enterprise BAS deployment. 

For mid-size security teams that have deployed a BAS platform, what was the finding that most clearly justified the investment to leadership? Was it a specific control gap that BAS found before an attacker did, or was it the cumulative evidence of posture improvement over time?

Leadership tends to trust trends more than individual events.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 2 months ago - Author title: Marketing Executive ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
