# What breach and attack simulation platforms eliminate the manual, repetitive work of security testing so analysts can focus on fixing gaps rather than running the same tests over and over?

Hi G2 community! We are researching the BAS category for automation depth specifically. Looking for the platforms where continuous simulation genuinely runs without analyst intervention, so the team's time goes into remediation rather than test execution.

  1. Picus Security: Automating security assessments allows the Picus user's security team to focus their efforts on higher-value tasks such as researching emerging threats and building custom detection rules rather than executing the same test cycles manually. 
  2. Cymulate: Automated, continuous security validation that clearly shows real-world attack exposure and the steps needed for remediation is the most consistently cited Cymulate capability. The SaaS model means automated simulations run on schedule without analyst presence. 
  3. Pentera: It runs independently without requiring manual involvement in each attack simulation cycle. Asset mapping and vulnerability detection run autonomously, saving manpower and freeing security staff to focus on remediation rather than test execution. The AI insights feature pinpoints all the areas that need to be closed rapidly, reducing the analyst time required to interpret findings after the automated run completes. 
  4. Defendify All-In-One Cybersecurity Solution: Continuous monitoring and protection run without requiring daily analyst intervention, and the vulnerability scanning tools significantly reduce the workload of manual security testing for organizations with limited security staff.
  5. RidgeBot: the automated attack and exploitation approach continuously discovers and validates exploitable vulnerabilities without requiring manual penetration testing cycles, providing continuous evidence of what is actually exploitable rather than scheduling periodic manual tests. 

For security teams that have achieved meaningful automation of their simulation programs, what was the most significant change in how the security team spends its time? Is it genuinely more time on remediation, or did the volume of automated findings create a new triage workload that partially offsets the savings?

Automated findings increasing faster than analyst capacity to act on them is a real risk worth scoping before you buy.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 22 days 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: about 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: about 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
