# Which breach and attack simulation platforms deliver fast ROI without a long implementation cycle for a security team that needs to prove value to leadership within 90 days?

Looking for input on the BAS tools where a security team can go from contract to first meaningful finding within a timeline that supports a 90-day leadership check-in.

  1. Cymulate: The SaaS architecture eliminates the infrastructure deployment phase that extends traditional BAS implementation timelines. Real-time test execution, automated simulation scheduling, and immediate result visibility mean the first findings are available in hours rather than weeks. The proof of ROI is explicitly cited as deliverable to leadership through the platform's reporting.
  2. Picus Security: The simplicity of installation and quick validation of current cyber infrastructure are specifically named alongside the ability to find and address gaps immediately after deployment. The prebuilt attack simulation library means teams do not need to build custom scenarios to generate immediate findings. 
  3. Adaptive Security: The process from first contact to onboarding is described as completely smooth across multiple independent reviewers, with the platform going live quickly enough to start rolling out training and simulations immediately. Preconfigured campaigns mean the first phishing simulation can run within days of contract, providing measurable employee risk data for leadership within the first month.
  4. Defendify All-In-One Cybersecurity Solution: The all-in-one model means that within 90 days, a mid-size or small team can have vulnerability scanning, phishing simulations, continuous monitoring, and dark web monitoring all operational from a single platform. Good overall costs versus competitors provide a clear cost-to-value narrative for leadership. 
  5. Simulation Labs: For teams evaluating a lightweight BAS entry point that can demonstrate value quickly, Simulation Labs provides accessible simulation capabilities without the full implementation overhead of enterprise BAS platforms. 

For security teams that have used BAS to build a leadership ROI case, what specific output created the most compelling 90-day narrative? Was it a specific control gap finding, the improvement trajectory against a baseline score, or the cost comparison between BAS and the equivalent finding from a penetration test?

The numbers are usually pretty compelling once someone does the calculation.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 20 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
