SCYTHE
Miami, Florida, United States
What it is
SCYTHE is a continuous Adversarial Exposure Validation platform for enterprise security teams. It runs MITRE ATT&CK-mapped adversary campaigns, including multi-stage activity based on named threat actors, to check whether controls detect, alert, block and respond. Results connect outcomes to ATT&CK coverage and identified gaps. AI can generate campaigns from plain-language threat descriptions, but execution requires human approval. Deployment options include cloud SaaS, on-premises, hybrid and air-gapped environments. Listed integrations include CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Cortex XDR, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Google Chronicle, Elastic SIEM, ServiceNow and Jira. SCYTHE says tests are controlled, configurable, logged and auditable, with explicit authorization required for destructive capabilities. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, cloud and OT/ICS attack surfaces. Pricing is custom-quoted based on environment scope; there is no free plan, but a free trial is available. Managed validation is offered for organizations wanting campaigns operated for them.
