Bottom Line
If your security budget is already stretched, Infection Monkey offers a free option for adding breach and attack (BAS) simulation to your cyberdefenses. It’s probably best for organizations with good in-house security expertise, as consulting and paid support are not available. However, its capabilities are on par with or better than many of the proprietary solutions available.

Like some of the other vendors that offer BAS products, GuardiCore was founded by veteran cybersecurity experts from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The company’s primary product is the Centra Security Platform, an integrated security solution for hybrid clouds. Its areas of expertise include microsegmentation, threat detection and response, container security and cloud security.
Product Description
Unlike most of the BAS products on the market, Infection Monkey is available under an open source license, so it is completely free. The latest version includes the ability to detect cached credentials, identify the risk from unpatched servers and test network segmentation. It offers the same sorts of features as the proprietary BAS solutions, but the company does not provide paid support. It is available for download through the Infection Monkey website or GitHub.
