SCYTHE is a continuous Adversarial Exposure Validation platform for enterprise security teams.
What SCYTHE is
SCYTHE is a continuous Adversarial Exposure Validation platform for enterprise security teams. It runs MITRE ATT&CK-mapped campaigns to examine whether security controls detect, alert, block, and respond to simulated adversary activity. Campaigns can span multiple stages and draw on named threat actors; results connect control outcomes with ATT&CK coverage and identified gaps. AI can create campaigns from plain-language threat descriptions, but a person must approve execution. Deployment options include cloud SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, and air-gapped environments. Listed integrations include security products and services such as CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, ServiceNow, and Jira. SCYTHE says it integrates bidirectionally with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, ticketing systems, and security controls. The company describes tests as controlled, configurable, logged, and auditable, with explicit authorization required for destructive capabilities. It identifies itself as SOC 2 Type II certified and says it undergoes an annual independent security audit. Pricing is custom-quoted based on environment scope; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Managed validation is also offered for organizations wanting campaigns operated and coverage reported for them.
