I changed my mind on this (which doesn’t happen very often, but I will come back to that later)…
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) is an advanced security testing methodology that is designed to stress-test your cyber defences by launching ‘real’ cyber-attacks against your live systems, or a virtual representation of your technology infrastructure stack. When the results of this attack are analysed, any weaknesses will be highlighted, so they can resolved before a real-world attack takes advantage of them.
