The platform has different modules, such as scenarios, team management, simulations, communication verification, and encryption. It provides benefits like collaborative workflows, real-time monitoring, detailed analytics, and feedback management.
“OpenBAS is unique in its capability to simulate every aspect of an incident, not only the technical part. With OpenBAS, you can also simulate contextual events to test your teams with journalist inquiries about the attack, a call from the CEO seeking immediate results, and so on,” Jean-Philippe Salles, VP of Product Management of Filigran, told Help Net Security.
“With OpenBAS, we seek to help cybersecurity teams to answer the question ‘Are we ready for these threats?’ We want OpenBAS to let you build the most accurate simulations you can, technically and contextually. So, we will add the capability to simulate more precise technical events, chaining them and reinjecting their results to create more complex scenarios, and enhance the ability to collect prevention, detection, and human response to those events to assess the organization’s security posture,” Salles concluded.
OpenBAS is free on GitHub. It comes with Docker images and manual installation packages.
