Control Development
Custom Control Frameworks
Effective cybersecurity requires a robust control framework tailored to an organization's technology stack, risk profile and compliance needs. Our customer controls validation service enables organizations to develop custom control frameworks based on testing that aligns with their specific industry regulations, security policies, and risk tolerance.
Risk Mitigation
Managed AEV Service
Continuous Adversary Validation.
Expert-Managed. Always On.
SCYTHE runs your Adversarial Exposure Validation program end-to-end — so your defenses are continuously tested against real TTPs without adding headcount or outsourcing to an MSSP.
Always On
Continuous, not periodic
IT + OT
Hybrid infrastructure coverage
Zero MSSP
Direct SCYTHE operator access
The Problem
Annual tests tell you where you were. Adversaries attack you where you are.
Point-in-time penetration tests and infrequent red team exercises leave months-long windows of unvalidated exposure. Most organizations know they need continuous validation — but lack the specialized talent, tooling, and time to run it themselves.
197
average days between a control gap opening and being discovered through periodic testing — adversaries don't wait.
82%
of organizations cannot staff a dedicated adversarial emulation function internally — talent and cost are the primary blockers.
4×
faster mean time to detect for organizations running continuous AEV versus those relying on annual assessments alone.
What Is Managed AEV
Your adversarial testing program — fully operated by SCYTHE experts.
Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) is the continuous practice of testing your security controls against real adversary behaviors — not simulated noise. SCYTHE's Managed AEV service runs that program for you: campaign design, execution, analysis, and reporting, operated by SCYTHE's own emulation engineers. No internal red team required.
Fully Managed
SCYTHE's engineers handle everything from campaign design to post-simulation reporting. Your team reviews results, not operations.
Continuously Running
Validation doesn't stop between engagements. Controls are tested on an ongoing cadence matched to your threat landscape.
Intelligence-Driven
Every campaign is built from current adversary TTPs — tied to real threat actor behavior, not a static test library from last year.
IT + OT Coverage
Testing spans hybrid IT/OT environments — critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy sector environments fully supported.
How It Works
End-to-end execution, every cycle.
SCYTHE manages the full AEV lifecycle — from environment profiling and campaign design through execution, integration, and remediation tracking. Every cycle.
01
Profile & Scope
SCYTHE engineers map your environment, stack, and threat profile to define the right TTPs, coverage scope, and validation cadence for your specific organization.
02
Build & Deploy
Custom emulation campaigns are built in SCYTHE using current threat intelligence and deployed against your live environment on the agreed-upon cadence.
03
Analyze & Integrate
Results are analyzed against your SIEM, EDR, and ITSM platforms. SCYTHE engineers surface gaps, correlate findings, and feed data directly into your existing workflows.
04
Report & Validate
Detailed reports with prioritized findings are delivered on schedule. Remediation is tracked and re-validated to confirm gaps are closed — not just documented.
Why SCYTHE
Not an MSSP. Not a DIY platform. SCYTHE's own experts.
Most organizations end up choosing between expensive MSSPs that use generic tooling or buying a platform they don't have the people to run. Managed AEV is a purpose-built third option — SCYTHE's own engineers running SCYTHE's own platform for you.
Traditional MSSP
✗ Generic tooling, not adversary emulation
✗ High markups and opaque pricing
✗ Outsourced to subcontractors
✗ Limited OT/ICS expertise
✗ Reactive reporting cadence
Build Internal Team
✗ 12–18 month hiring timelines
✗ High salary + tooling + training cost
✗ Single point of failure (key person)
✗ Stops when people leave
✗ Ramp-up before first result
SCYTHE Managed AEV
✓ Purpose-built adversary emulation platform
✓ Transparent, predictable pricing
✓ SCYTHE's own engineers — no subcontractors
✓ Full IT + OT/ICS hybrid coverage
✓ Running within weeks, not months
Service Highlights
What's included in every Managed AEV program
Every Managed AEV engagement is fully operated by SCYTHE — from initial scoping through ongoing execution, tool integration, and actionable reporting. Your team stays focused on defense, not operations.
End-to-End Execution
From initial setup to post-simulation analysis, SCYTHE handles the full lifecycle of each campaign. You receive results — not operational burden.
Threat Intelligence-Driven Content
Campaigns are built from the latest adversary behaviors and TTPs — ensuring relevance to today's threat landscape, not last year's static library.
IT + OT Environment Coverage
Testing spans hybrid IT/OT infrastructures — purpose-built for organizations in critical infrastructure, energy, and heavy manufacturing sectors.
Seamless SIEM / EDR Integration
Findings flow directly into your SIEM, EDR, and ITSM platforms — no manual translation. Results land in the tools your team already uses every day.
Custom Control Frameworks
Validation frameworks are tailored to your industry regulations, security policies, and risk tolerance — not a generic compliance checklist.
Actionable Reporting & Tracking
In-depth reports with prioritized gaps, remediation guidance, and trend data. Track improvement over time and demonstrate control effectiveness to stakeholders.
Who It's For
Built for organizations that need continuous validation without the overhead of running it themselves.
Managed AEV serves teams at every stage of security maturity — from organizations building their first continuous testing practice to mature programs looking to close the gap between exercises.
Teams Without a Red Team
You know you need adversarial validation but don't have the internal staff to run it. Managed AEV gives you the capability without the hire — running in weeks, not months.
Between Purple Team Exercises
You run quarterly or annual exercises but need continuous coverage in between. AEV keeps detection sharp month-to-month — no gaps between engagements.
Critical Infrastructure & OT
Energy, utilities, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure with hybrid IT/OT environments that require specialized emulation coverage most MSSPs can't provide.
Compliance-Driven Organizations
Regulated industries that need continuous testing evidence for auditors — not just a point-in-time pen test report filed once a year and forgotten.
Pair With
Build a complete continuous security validation program
Managed AEV runs between your exercises and feeds into your intelligence cycle. Combine it with SCYTHE's other services for full-spectrum, always-on security validation.
Empower
Feed monthly TTP intelligence directly into your AEV campaigns so every test reflects what adversaries are doing right now — not last quarter.
