Introducing SafeBreach Helm

As enterprises struggle with challenges like AI-generated threats, tool fatigue, and alert overload, traditional, reactive security measures have become insufficient. Organizations are increasingly turning to the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework developed by Gartner™ as a more proactive way to manage exposures. 

Gartner’s framework formalized what leading security teams already knew: managing exposure is not a one-time project, but a continuous program that can break through the noise of alerts and vulnerability scores to address the threats that matter most. But this theoretical framework has—up to this point—required organizations to cobble together disparate tools, datasets, and processes to make it work in practice.

Today, SafeBreach is changing that with the launch of our enterprise-grade CTEM by SafeBreach solution, driven by the groundbreaking capabilities of the SafeBreach Helm AI Agent. With its powerful orchestration capabilities, SafeBreach Helm is moving organizations past siloed security activities toward a complete, closed-loop CTEM program that is operationalized through simple, conversational prompts and from one intuitive interface.

What is SafeBreach Helm?

SafeBreach Helm is a new AI Agent designed to navigate the complexities of modern security architectures to orchestrate CTEM implementation. It unifies Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) data from the SafeBreach Exposure Validation Platform with with data and insights from a customer’s existing security ecosystem—including Threat Intelligence (TI), Vulnerability Management (VM), External Attack Surface Management (EASM), and workflow management tools—to provide a complete 360-degree solution that ensures exposures are not only identified but continuously validated and resolved. 

Through natural language interaction, SafeBreach Helm allows security practitioners to scope critical assets, investigate exposures, trigger validations, and drive remediation workflows. Helm doesn’t just provide more data; it provides clarity and action that drives measurable risk reduction.

Operationalizing the CTEM Lifecycle

SafeBreach Helm evolves the manual, fragmented approach to CTEM implementation by automating and orchestrating all five phases of the lifecycle:

• Scoping: SafeBreach Helm leverages contextual data from Threat Intelligence (TI) tools to identify critical assets, business priorities, and relevant segments of the attack surface.
• Discovery: SafeBreach Helm continuously aggregates and correlates exposure data across internal and external environments, using VM and EASM tools.
• Prioritization: SafeBreach Helm uses asset context from the Discovery phase to precisely highlight the exposures that present the greatest risk, helping users cut through the noise.
• Validation: SafeBreach Helm utilizes the breach and attack simulation (BAS) capabilities of SafeBreach Validate and the attack path validation of SafeBreach Propagate to confirm the exploitability of the highlighted exposures and map realistic attack paths using real-world adversary techniques.
• Mobilization: SafeBreach Helm uses SafeBreach’s AI Remediation technology to translate validated findings into actionable guidance that can be automatically shared with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM); Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR); and other workflow management and ticketing tools—including ServiceNow and Jira—to enable teams to remediate risk efficiently and effectively.

The SafeBreach Difference: Grounded in Validation from the Pioneers in AEV

AEV is the foundational layer of the CTEM framework, validating whether identified exposures are actually exploitable by real-world attackers. This empirical data ensures that organizations focus their remediation efforts on exposures that pose a verified threat to their business-critical assets. In short, AEV moves CTEM from uncovering theoretical risk to identifying exploitable exposures. Without AEV, there is no CTEM.

The CTEM by SafeBreach solution is uniquely grounded in the SafeBreach Exposure Validation Platform, the only AEV platform with more than a decade of experience. It combines the award-winning breach and attack simulation (BAS) capabilities of SafeBreach Validate to test control effectiveness with the enterprise-grade attack path validation of SafeBreach Propagate to demonstrate how an adversary might move through a network.

Why this matters:

• Proven vs. Theoretical Risk: We don’t just tell you a vulnerability exists; we safely prove which attack paths actually work so you can prioritize the most impactful remediation activities.
• End-to-End Visibility: By combining Validate and Propagate, we provide complete visibility into the real-time response of security controls across the full kill-chain.
• Post-Remediation Validation: Re-running simulations provides proof that remediation actions resulted in measurable risk reduction or that additional actions are needed. 

When combined with our enterprise expertise, the rich body of empirical data we have based on millions of simulations against mature security organizations, and the powerful AI orchestration capabilities of SafeBreach Helm, the difference is clear. SafeBreach provides a complete solution that not only removes the complexity of operationalizing CTEM, but also meets the safety and scalability requirements of enterprise customers in a way others can’t.
