Description

Enterprises worldwide have traditionally relied on assessment methods such as annual penetration tests, compliance audits, vulnerability scanning, and red team exercises to validate that their infrastructure and security controls are functioning properly. However, amid a dynamic business environment and increased digitalization, these assessment methods are increasingly inadequate for helping enterprises address the expanding attack surface created by mass cloud adoption, identity sprawl, and heightened threat complexity. Organizations seek greater visibility across all attack surfaces, along with actionable insights that reduce alert fatigue and prioritize real risks by business impact and exploitability. Automated Security Validation (ASV) is emerging as a proactive cybersecurity solution that enables enterprises to continuously test and validate the effectiveness of their security controls. ASV tools help avoid collateral damage to vital business systems and serve as alternatives to traditional security posture assessment mechanisms.

There are four sub-segments within the ASV framework: Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), Automated Penetration Testing (APT), Red Teaming Automated Platforms (RTAP), and Continuous Exposure Management (CEM). The four components initially emerged as separate categories, with each addressing specific enterprise pain points in assessing real-world security readiness. Over time, these capabilities converged into the broader ASV framework as they share the same goal of continuously validating cyber readiness through automated, contextualized techniques.

This Frost & Sullivan analysis examines the global ASV market by vertical and horizontal segments. It offers global and regional breakdowns for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. The report discusses factors driving and restraining ASV adoption, revenue forecasts, pricing trends, competitive landscape trends, and insights for chief information security officers. It also identifies emerging growth opportunities that stakeholders and participants should consider and capitalize on. The base year is 2025, with the forecast period covering 2026 to 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
