# What is the most reliable breach and attack simulation software for a mid-size security team that needs to run simulations regularly without a six-figure professional services engagement?

Looking for input in the BAS category on self-service reliability. I require a platform that a mid-size security team can run on a regular cadence without needing a professional services team on-site for every simulation cycle.

  1. Cymulate: It runs as a fully cloud-delivered platform that does not require on-premises infrastructure or vendor presence to execute simulations. The platform is described as efficient and intuitive, making it easy to run tests regularly and incorporate them into an ongoing continuous security validation process. Automation reduces the involvement required per simulation cycle. 
  2. Adaptive Security: The preconfigured campaign model means mid-size teams can launch realistic phishing and social engineering simulations immediately without building custom scenarios or relying on vendor professional services. The initial setup from first contact through deployment is described as completely smooth, and onboarding is completed without issues that require ongoing professional services. 
  3. Defendify All-In-One Cybersecurity Solution: The all-in-one platform model means vulnerability scanning, phishing simulations, and continuous monitoring run on a regular cadence without requiring external expertise to manage each simulation cycle. Good overall costs versus competitors are cited alongside the platform's comprehensiveness. 
  4. Pentera: Pentera's autonomous operation, running independently without requiring analyst involvement per simulation cycle, directly addresses the professional services dependency problem by automating the attack execution that would otherwise require a red team engagement. Asset mapping and vulnerability detection run independently, saving manpower and freeing analysts up by providing reliable findings without requiring their intervention. 
  5. Right-Hand Cybersecurity: For mid-size teams that need continuous security validation of the human attack surface without professional services, Right-Hand's behavioral coaching and automated simulation model runs on a continuous cadence without requiring vendor involvement in each cycle. 

For mid-size teams that have moved from periodic red team engagements to continuous BAS, what was the most significant operational change? Was it the shift from quarterly findings to continuous visibility, the change in how remediation is prioritized, or the challenge of building internal processes to act on ongoing simulation output?
