AttackIQ Introduces AVA Agentic OS

AttackIQ has unveiled AVA Agentic OS, a system designed to implement Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) through advanced automation. CTEM has become a critical approach for managing cyber risk, but many organizations face challenges in executing it effectively due to fragmented security technologies, disconnected workflows, and manual processes. While investments in risk identification tools have increased, the absence of an intelligent operational layer that converts threat intelligence into actionable steps remains a significant gap. AVA Agentic OS addresses this by providing a unified framework for continuous threat exposure management.

Key Missions of AVA Agentic OS

The platform leverages specialized AI agents to perform autonomous cybersecurity missions, focusing on discovering, validating, and mitigating threat debt. By integrating cyber threat intelligence, security validation, detection engineering, control optimization, threat debt reduction, and AI security validation into cohesive workflows, AVA Agentic OS transforms CTEM from a strategic concept into an operational capability.

CTI-Driven Validation

CTI-driven validation converts cyber threat intelligence into defensive readiness by analyzing adversaries, mapping MITRE ATT&CK techniques, generating attack scenarios, and measuring defensive effectiveness.

Detection Coverage Analysis

Detection coverage analysis identifies gaps in enterprise detection capabilities.

Control Defense Optimization

Control defense optimization evaluates security controls against real-world attack methods.

Threat Debt Reduction

Threat debt reduction highlights attack paths and prioritizes actions to minimize risk.

AI Security Validation

AI security validation ensures safe deployment of AI systems by identifying vulnerabilities and simulating adversarial attacks.

Architecture and Integration

AVA Agentic OS is built on an open, extensible architecture that integrates with existing technologies. Organizations can embed autonomous CTEM into current workflows without replacing existing security investments, allowing teams, developers, and applications to use the same orchestration engine regardless of the entry point.

Collaboration and Outcomes

Security leaders are increasingly judged by outcomes rather than activities, with success measured by the ability to demonstrate measurable reductions in threat debt. The platform enables organizations to address critical questions about resilience against adversaries, detection gaps, effective security controls, and the impact of remediation efforts. It also supports confident AI deployment by continuously assessing AI risks and validating security measures.

Carl Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at AttackIQ, emphasized that organizations do not lack a CTEM strategy but face execution challenges. AVA OS serves as the operational layer that enables Continuous Threat Exposure Management to function continuously, coordinating AI agents to handle tasks such as threat discovery, validation, and debt reduction.

Chris Foster, US Cyber Resilience and Defense Lead at Accenture, noted that AI-driven attacks are becoming more complex and difficult to manage. Accenture and AttackIQ are collaborating to help clients operationalize CTEM through intelligent orchestration, providing a continuous method to reduce exposure and transition to autonomous cyber operations.

Forward Deployed Engineering

Additionally, AttackIQ has launched Forward Deployed Engineering, where engineers work directly with customer teams to integrate AVA Agentic OS into security operations, ensuring sustainable capability for clients.
