Introduction
CommSec, with our technology partners Nemesis, run real-world attack simulations against your infrastructure, constantly probing, testing, and exposing weaknesses before the bad guys do. We combine continuous Breach & Attack Simulation with Attack Surface Management to show you exactly where you’re vulnerable. No guesswork, no assumptions. Just data.
Benefits
- Automation at Scale: Continuously test security controls without manual effort, enabling frequent validation that would be impossible with traditional manual testing methods.
- Cost-Effective Testing: Reduce reliance on expensive periodic penetration tests with continuous automated simulations.
- Risk Reduction: Minimize the attack surface by systematically addressing security weaknesses

Case Study
Company: EPI
Sector: Financial services
The Main Problem: Stay ahead of cyberthreats and ensure SOC remains effective in a constantly changing environment.
Pain points and our solutions:
● Pain point: Testing SOC ability to detect and respond to real-world cyber threats.
○ Our solution: Comprehensive attack simulations using MITRE ATT&CK techniques and custom threat scenarios to mimic real-world adversaries
● Pain Point: Identifying gaps in monitoring and incident response processes before attackers exploit them
○ Our Solution: Real-time SOC evaluation testing detection speed and effectiveness under realistic attack conditions
● Pain Point: Maintaining measurable, repeatable security validation for compliance and operational resilience
○ Our Solution: Actionable insights through detailed reports on detection gaps,
response effectiveness, recommendations for improvement, and regulatory
compliance documentation
Conclusion: Nemesis enabled EPI to continuously validate SOC performance, close critical security gaps, and maintain DORA compliance, ensuring their defenses are operationally ready for evolving threats.
FAQ's
How is Breach and Attack Simulation different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing is typically a point-in-time assessment conducted manually, while BAS provides continuous, automated security validation that runs regularly to ensure your defences remain effective as threats evolve.
Will Nemesis disrupt our production environment?
Nemesis is designed for safe, controlled simulations that test your security controls without causing operational disruption or damage to systems.
How often should we run simulations?
We recommend continuous or weekly testing to ensure your security posture keeps pace with evolving threats and changes to your environment.
Can Nemesis test our specific security tools and configurations?
Yes. Nemesis can be customised to test your unique security stack, including EDR, SIEM, firewalls, and other security controls
