Can an attacker get in?
Which paths through our environment are actually exploitable, and how far do they reach?
Why Rimator
Finding the attack path is only half the answer.
Autonomous pentesting proves an attacker can get in. Rimator proves what happens next: whether your defenses detected each step, whether your team responded, and whether the fix actually holds.
The questions that matter
Your board asks four questions. Most tools answer one.
Offensive testing and defensive operations have grown up as separate disciplines, with separate tools and separate reports. The questions leadership needs answered live in the space between them.
Would we see it?
Did our EDR, SIEM, and cloud controls detect each step, or did the attack pass silently?
Would we stop it?
Did an alert reach the right people, and did the response happen in time to matter?
Is it fixed?
When we changed a rule or a control, did it actually close the path, and does it still?
The validation gap
Why a list of exploitable paths isn't enough.
Autonomous pentesting is a real step forward: it made continuous, automated exploitation practical. But it measures the attacker's side only.
Breaches rarely succeed because nobody owned an EDR or a SIEM. They succeed in the gaps between tools and teams: a technique no rule covers, an alert that fires but is never escalated, a host that never got an agent, a fix that was ticketed but never verified. Those gaps are invisible to any tool that stops at the exploit.
Rimator was built to see them. It runs the attack, then holds every step against the evidence your own defenses produced.
What Rimator adds to every campaign
- Detection proof. Each technique is correlated with EDR, SIEM, cloud, identity, email, and network telemetry.
- Response evidence. SOAR playbooks and tickets show what your team did next, and when.
- Specific fixes. Detection rules, policy changes, and configuration diffs, not generic advice.
- Verified closure. The same attack replays against the same defense until the fix holds.
- Audit-ready evidence. Verdicts mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, and CIS Controls v8.

Where Rimator fits
Built to strengthen what you already have.
Rimator does not ask you to replace a team or a tool. It proves them, and it closes the distance between them.
-
Your security stack
EDR, SIEM, cloud, identity, email, and network tools become witnesses. Rimator shows which of their detections work under real attack, and where tuning is needed.
-
Your SOC
Analysts stop guessing at coverage and work from verdicts: what fired, what stayed silent, and exactly where each gap is, evidence attached.
-
Your testing program
Human-led pentests and red teams focus on creative, high-value work, while Rimator validates continuously in between and proves their findings stay fixed.
