Breach and Attack simulation (BAS) differs from traditional penetration testing in several
ways. While penetration testing is usually a one-time event that is performed by a third-party
security team, BAS is an ongoing process that can be conducted by internal security teams
using automated tools. BAS also simulates various types of attacks continuously, whereas
traditional penetration testing focuses on a specific set of attacks and vulnerabilities.
Additionally, BAS offers a more comprehensive and realistic assessment of an
organization's security posture, as it can evaluate the effectiveness of all security controls,
not just those related to network or application security. Lastly, BAS is often more cost effective and less disruptive to the organization's operations than traditional penetration
testing.
