KnowBe4 announced the release of BreachSim, a free tool designed to help organizations identify and address network security vulnerabilities from the lens of a hacker. BreachSim enables IT security professionals and network administrators to uncover weaknesses in their security infrastructure and demonstrate the critical importance of employee training. BreachSim detects how data is being exfiltrated and helps uncover network vulnerabilities unique to an organization.

This information allows organizations to know the necessary measures to harden their cybersecurity defenses and train their employees to build a strong human firewall. BreachSim conducts the simulations and provides results in a few minutes. Compatible with Windows 10 or later and Windows Server 2016 or later, BreachSim offers an analysis of potential data exfiltration.
