# Reflex Security Reviews **Vendor:** Reflex Security **Category:** [Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/breach-and-attack-simulation-bas) **Average Rating:** 5.0/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 4 ## About Reflex Security Reflex Security builds real incident response readiness through AI-driven tabletop exercises that adapt in real time to your team's decisions. The platform generates hyper-customized scenarios in minutes by researching your actual tech stack, industry, and threat landscape from public data. Every exercise is tailored to your organization, not pulled from a generic template. Exercises fight back. AI adversaries respond dynamically to participant decisions, creating realistic pressure and unpredictable outcomes that keep teams engaged throughout. An AI facilitator can join Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams to guide discussion, capture notes, and challenge individuals with role-specific questions. After each exercise, Reflex generates audit-ready reports with performance analytics and remediation guidance designed to support compliance requirements such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cyber insurance requirements. Built for CISOs and MSSPs who want to run tabletop exercises frequently at a fraction of the prep time and cost of traditional facilitated sessions. ## Reflex Security Reviews ### 1. Reflex Raises the Bar on Tabletop Exercises **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lee C. | Founder and CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Reflex Security?** I have been doing tabletop exercises for the past decade. The traditional model is filled with structural issues that most practitioners know about but don’t talk about. Reflex actually fixes them. The scenario engine is a core improvement. Based on as little or as much information as you want to feed it, Reflex builds the attack vector, the threat actor and the organizational context. What usually took weeks of scenario development and stakeholder coordination can be done in under a few hours. That time compression, and quality of the output, significantly changes what I can do for an organization. Participant engagement is where most exercises fall apart. You know the look. Technical teams being asked to suspend disbelief because of unrealistic assumptions, or exec teams on their phones, half-checked out. Reflex solves that too. Everyone gets their own console tuned to their role. AI agents participate as attackers and as colleagues who aren’t part of the formal exercise. They’ll ask questions, make noise, put on a lot of pressure. A facilitator doesn’t provide every inject. Each participant has to bring what they are finding to the team which is so much more realistic. The reporting is very good. You get an all-encompassing transcript showing how people found information, how they communicated with others when they were under pressure, and what decisions they took and when. And that’s a whole different level of insight than a quick hot wash at the end of a traditional session. One thing I didn’t expect to see going in: I started using Reflex for cyber tabletops and quickly realized it handles BCP/DR, crisis communications, and enterprise risk scenarios just as well. That’s opened conversations well beyond the security team. **What do you dislike about Reflex Security?** Fully in-person sessions with one shared screen lose some of what makes it effective. Everybody, or at least every team, needs their own console. But I have come to understand that Reflex’s model is actually more realistic anyway. Real incidents aren’t worked in a single conference room around a u-shaped table. You have parallel bridges running simultaneously. The platform is similar to the way incidents actually play out. The format of the after-action report is still evolving. The depth of what the platform captures is impressive. The bigger problem is that the industry has yet to figure out what an after-action report should look like for this kind of exercise. The mistake would be to try to rebuild the old reports with this platform. Reflex is not revamping an old model, they are building a new one. Their team is engaged and the process feels very collaborative. **What problems is Reflex Security solving and how is that benefiting you?** Classic tabletops have a structural problem: scenarios are scripted and injects come on schedule, no matter what the team is doing. The participants rehearse a narrative, not a real response. The result is false confidence. Reflex solves it at the root. The scenario reacts to what the team actually does. People have to investigate, communicate, escalate and make decisions. The platform captures all of it. That move from hypothesizing what you would do to actually doing it is where the value is. For me, I can deliver higher quality exercises, more often, without a big team. Lighter prep cycles are easier on everyone. Frequency matters. Reflex makes frequency realistic. It also lets me quickly spin up an exercise to help answer management's questions about high profile events in the news. What would happen to us if...? You can actually test that now. There is also a side benefit to keeping fewer people involved in scenario development. Technical team members stay fresh. They don’t have an inside track on the scenario ahead of time, so they respond without knowing where it’s going. Think of this more like a drill than a meeting. And since the scenario is fixed but the response is dynamic, you can run the same scenario with different teams or re-run it with the same team and get a genuinely different experience. You can actually A/B test whether your team is improving. This is something you don’t know you need until you’ve seen it work in your environment, and then you don’t want to go back to the old way. ### 2. Real time tabletop simulator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jared M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2026 **What do you like best about Reflex Security?** We brought in Reflex this year to move beyond the traditional Word doc based tabletop template and into something that truly simulates a real world scenario. Reflex’s platform pushed our team to think not only about technical problem solving, but also about the contractual impacts and the communications involved in real time. Can't recommend this approach highly enough. **What do you dislike about Reflex Security?** The timing of the simulation can be challenging, especially when you’re focused on one problem and suddenly find yourself dealing with another. It feels like a real simulation, but it’s also important to carve out a few minutes to pause and talk things through with the team when questions come up. **What problems is Reflex Security solving and how is that benefiting you?** Most tabletop exercises are asynchronous, meaning the team is operating from a checklist or document that describes the issue, rather than dealing with the real complexities of troubleshooting, communicating, and discussing legal obligations under duress. Those are the factors that make real world incident response challenging, and they’re exactly where Reflex is helping build maturity for the security community. ### 3. Realistic, High-Pressure Incident Response Training with Actionable Performance Metrics **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris D. | Manager, Information Security Officers, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2026 **What do you like best about Reflex Security?** Effortlessly crafts realistic threat informed incident response training scenarios and pushing trainees to "feel" the pressure of an escalating cyber incident while delivering quantitative metrics on staff performance. **What do you dislike about Reflex Security?** Some AI generated assumptions about the business in terms of data used or regulations faced may not be 100% accurate but can easily be adjusted by tabletop facilitators. **What problems is Reflex Security solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reflex is raising the bar on what every cybersecurity practitioner should expect from the time invested in incident response training. ### 4. Highly Realistic, Company-Specific Incident Response Simulation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gustavo G. | Founder & CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Reflex Security?** Its ability to create a highly realistic, company-specific simulation that exposes real weaknesses in our incident response under pressure. This was not a generic exercise — it was tailored to our tech stack, clients, and regulatory environment, which made it feel like a real incident. **What do you dislike about Reflex Security?** I don’t recall anything specific that stood out as a negative during the experience. **What problems is Reflex Security solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reflex Security is solving the gap between theoretical incident response plans and real-world execution. Instead of relying on static policies or checklists, it puts our team in a realistic, high-pressure scenario where we have to act, communicate, and make decisions in real time. - [View Reflex Security pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/reflex-security/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-24+19%3A16%3A54+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=54fcea64-a728-4aac-9423-ee66ba927569&secure%5Btoken%5D=4a01ec6e4c904abef22f1ff6ed7acfdbfdbbd8e8f80a2ca1de7f9f5f43e4b83d&format=llm_user) ## Reflex Security Features **Simulation** - Test Agent Deployment - Breach Simulation - Attack Simulation - Resolution Guidance **Customization** - Multi-Vector Assessment - Scenario Customization - Range of Attack Types **Administration** - Reporting - Risk Evaluation - Automated Testing ## Top Reflex Security Alternatives - [vPenTest](https://www.g2.com/products/vpentest/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (230 reviews) - [Picus Security](https://www.g2.com/products/picus-security/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (229 reviews) - [Cymulate](https://www.g2.com/products/cymulate/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (175 reviews)
