Intelligent Simulation Is Redefining Cybersecurity in 2025

You know your attack surface is growing - but can you simulate what’s coming next?

Traditional security tools can tell you what’s happening now. Intelligent simulation helps you model what’s going to happen next. It uses AI, digital twins, and synthetic data to test complex threats in safe, controlled environments - before they hit production.

With intelligent simulation, security teams can:

  • Continuously validate posture with dynamic, risk-aware digital twins
  • Model complex, multistep attack paths using both real threat data and synthetic scenarios
  • Run what-if simulations to assess proposed changes - before they’re rolled out

The latest Gartner® report, Emerging Tech: Intelligent Simulation Accelerates Proactive Exposure Management, explains how this emerging technology is disrupting legacy validation tools and helping teams shift from reactive defense to proactive control.


Make 2025 the year you stop guessing - and start simulating. Get your copy of the report and see how.
