*This release is a summary translation of the release announced in France on October 29, 2025.
Filigran is rolling out OpenAEV (Adversarial Exposure Validation), a new solution that evolves OpenBAS, expanding it beyond traditional control validation into a platform that manages overall threat exposure. At the same time, the company is announcing the paid "OpenAEV Enterprise Edition," which features advanced automation and AI capabilities for security teams to validate and mitigate cyber risks.
European cybertech company Filigran (Headquarters: Paris, France; hereinafter "Filigran"), a provider of open-source cybersecurity solutions, has announced an important milestone in its leadership in the exposure management space, supporting Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) initiatives. The company's Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform is being rebranded as "OpenAEV (Adversarial Exposure Validation)," and a new Enterprise Edition (EE) designed for advanced security teams is also being launched.
This name change reflects the evolution of the solution, moving beyond mere simulation to address the new Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) paradigm. OpenAEV provides a broader, highly adaptable, threat intelligence-driven defense approach, enabling continuous validation of the entire security posture, including the human element.
Filigran CEO Samuel Hassine stated:
"The concept of Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) alone is no longer sufficient to fully describe the value provided by modern risk assessment platforms. OpenAEV provides integrated capabilities to continuously and proactively assess cyber defenses. It is crucial not just to simulate attacks, but to understand what risks are high-priority and critical to your business, and to actually mitigate those risks. We achieve risk-based validation through the integration of threat intelligence via OpenCTI. Our goal is to help CISOs significantly improve their AEV capabilities on both the technical and human sides."
Many organizations face overwhelming amounts of threat data and vulnerability information but lack the context to turn it into actual action. More than 40,000 new software vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2024. While each could be a potential risk, prioritization is extremely difficult without understanding its exploitability within their own environment. As a result, even critical vulnerabilities take an average of 45 days to be addressed.
OpenAEV: Prioritization, Validation, and Remediation
OpenAEV is the market's first open-source, threat intelligence-driven AEV platform. It provides organizations with proactive methods for exposure assessment, helping them predict and respond to cyber threats before they materialize.
