Managed Threat Detection & Response provider, e2e-assure, has partnered with threat-informed defence platform, Validato. The collaboration will enable businesses to strengthen their cyber resilience by gaining insight into the potential impact of new and emerging threats while identifying gaps in their cyber defences.
The partnership will empower businesses to test, validate, and optimise their current security controls and detection capabilities. Leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework to simulate real-world cyber threats, this will provide businesses with full visibility into their current defence capabilities. Businesses will also be able to access a clear roadmap to patch vulnerabilities and strengthen their cyber posture.
An approach e2e-assure is calling ‘Breach Disruption Validation’, which will expose vulnerabilities such as misconfiguration and over-privileged users, before attackers can exploit them.
Dominic Carroll, Director of Portfolio at e2e-assure, said:
“The partnership provides businesses with full clarity of their cyber security posture, guiding them to ensure they are a harder target for cyber criminals.
“Security coverage is perishable. With cyber attackers increasingly leveraging technology such as AI to increase the sophistication of threats, this real-time posture checking is more important than ever.
“We talk a lot at e2e-assure about Attack Disruption. This partnership with Validato allows us to validate that.
“It also supports growing regulatory demands under The Cyber Resilience Act and DORA, where validation at this level is becoming a requirement, not a luxury.”
Ronan Lavelle, CEO of Validato, said:
“Traditionally, security testing has been very ‘point in time’, through processes such as penetration testing. The threat landscape, however, is changing daily, and there is a real requirement to have a more regular and continuous view of how a company’s security posture is validated against the current landscape.
“We’re pleased to form this partnership with e2e-assure, a company which shares our core values regarding the importance of taking a preventative approach to cyber security, tuning and hardening an environment, to block threat actors before access.”
The news comes as e2e-assure’s Cyber Resilience 2025: Futureproofing AI Adoption report reveals a clear business need for greater Threat Intelligence to advise and improve alert tuning. The report found 46% of businesses are only ‘somewhat confident’ in their cyber provision’s use of this, with 90% of cyber risk owners stating they had experienced a cyber attack in 2024, up from 75% in 2023.
As part of the new partnership, e2e-assure and Validato are running a webinar on 30th May. This will be a deep dive into the operational value of adversary simulation in modern detection engineering in modern SOC operations. You’ll gain a concise overview of the 2025 threat landscape, including forward-looking insights into attacker tradecraft and the changing regulatory climate. Register now.
