Guardicore unveiled new capabilities for Infection Monkey, its free, open source breach and attack simulation tool that maps to the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base and tests network adherence to the Forrester Zero Trust framework.
Infection Monkey is a self-propagating testing tool that hundreds of information technology teams from across the world use to test network adherence to the zero trust framework, and find weaknesses in their on-premises and cloud-based data centers.
As the cybersecurity skills gap continues to widen and IT teams find themselves short-staffed, Infection Monkey 1.9.0 received several interface improvements that ensure the tool can be easily implemented - and most importantly valuable - with no additional staff or education.
Guardicore is committed to ensuring that Infection Monkey offers the highest standards of quality and safety as a tool.
"Our mission with Infection Monkey is to equip cybersecurity professionals with a valuable open source tool that helps improve their security posture against cybercriminals," said Shay Nehmad, Team Lead and Open Source Software Developer, Guardicore.
