New AI-powered CTI Analyzer delivers hyperlocal cyber threat intelligence and security control validation, bringing enterprise-grade CTI analysis capabilities to every organization

AttackIQ^®, the leading vendor of Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solutions and founding research partner of the MITRE Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), today announced AttackIQ Watchtower, an AI-powered CTI Analyzer that brings visibility into the adversaries actively targeting enterprise environments. By hyperlocalizing threat intelligence and auto-generating tailored emulation scenarios, Watchtower delivers contextual insights typically only available to well-resourced threat intel teams at a fraction of the cost.

Security teams today are often overwhelmed by noisy cyber threat intelligence (CTI) feeds and generic guidance, unsure where to focus their testing efforts. Many organizations lack the time, budget or dedicated staff to sift through data and map threats to action. AttackIQ Watchtower solves this challenge by leveraging AI to continuously analyze live adversary activity specific to each customer’s environment. It delivers hyperlocal threat intelligence based on real-world behavior rather than industry averages or static reports. When attacker behavior is observed, AttackIQ Virtual Advisor (AVA) automatically prescribes the most relevant adversary emulation scenarios to validate the organization’s cyber defenses and readiness.

“What we’re delivering with AttackIQ Watchtower is a fully automated AI CTI Analyzer that provides actionable hyperlocal threat intelligence, showing organizations what’s happening at their front door right now, not what’s happening across your industry or region,” said Paul Reid, VP of Adversary Research at AttackIQ. “With the help of AI, we’re bringing enterprise-grade cyber threat intel capabilities to security teams of all sizes, giving them access to insights and testing precision that were previously out of reach.”

A New Level of Precision, Speed and Clarity

With AttackIQ Watchtower, customers now benefit from a more adaptive, intelligence-driven approach to validating and improving their cyber defenses. Key benefits include:

• Hyperlocal Threat Visibility: Customers can detect active adversaries targeting their specific environments, moving beyond generic threat assumptions to focus on what is actually happening now.
• Adaptive Testing Without Manual Effort: Security teams no longer need to manually update testing scenarios. Simulations automatically evolve based on live threat actor behaviors, saving time and improving precision.
• Exposure-Focused Defense: By linking real attacker tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to relevant AEV content, AttackIQ Watchtower helps uncover overlooked vulnerabilities and ensures organizations test the right controls before an incident occurs.
• Measurable, Executive-Ready Outcomes: With targeted testing and automated validation, customers can demonstrate how well their controls detect and stop real-world threats backed by clear metrics and reporting for leadership and board audiences.

“Security programs can’t afford to rely on static playbooks or once-a-year audits,” said Pete Luban, Field CISO at AttackIQ. “AttackIQ Watchtower gives us a view of pre-active adversary behavior, clear guidance on how to test our defenses and confidence that our controls will hold when it counts. It’s a more adaptive, evidence-based approach that helps security leaders shift from reactive checklists to operational readiness.”
