Summary
SafeBreach Helm is the pioneering AI infrastructure layer of the SafeBreach Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Platform, designed to operationalize the complete CTEM lifecycle by unifying SafeBreach’s industry-leading adversarial exposure validation (AEV) capabilities with data and insights from across an organization’s existing security ecosystem. Through a single natural-language interface, SafeBreach Helm orchestrates three purpose-built AI agents—the Analyst Agent, Validation Agent, and SecOps Agent—to move organizations from siloed security activities toward a complete, closed-loop CTEM program that continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates cyber risk at scale.
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 SafeBreach CTEM Platform, powered by SafeBreach Helm—the new AI infrastructure layer. 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 the AI infrastructure layer of the SafeBreach CTEM Platform, designed to navigate the complexities of modern security architectures and orchestrate CTEM implementation at enterprise scale. 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), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), and other ticketing tools—to provide a complete 360-degree solution that ensures exposures are not only identified but continuously validated and resolved.
Through a single natural-language interface, SafeBreach Helm coordinates three purpose-built AI agents—the Analyst Agent, Validation Agent, and SecOps Agent—to continuously discover, validate, and remediate exposures based on real attacker behavior.
This means teams can ask SafeBreach Helm one question and get one actionable answer. For example: “Where could Volt Typhoon threat actors gain traction in my environment, and what gaps should I fix first?” In response, Helm automatically coordinates:
- The Analyst Agent covers the Scope, Discover, and Prioritize phases of CTEM. It leverages contextual data from SafeBreach simulators, TI, VM, and EASM tools to scope assets, discover exposures, and prioritize the ones that matter most based on real-world risk.
- The Validation Agent covers the Validate phase of CTEM. It utilizes the breach and attack simulation (BAS) capabilities of SafeBreach Validate and the attack path validation (APV) functionality of SafeBreach Propagate to prove which prioritized exposures are actually exploitable in your unique environment using real-world adversary techniques.
- The SecOps Agent covers the Mobilize phase of CTEM. It translates findings on validated exposures into actionable guidance via SafeBreach’s AI Remediation that can be 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 result is a unified, validated CTEM workflow—instead of fragmented findings across disconnected tools.
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 SafeBreach CTEM Platform 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 BAS capabilities of SafeBreach Validate to test control effectiveness with the enterprise-grade APV capabilities 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.
