Stop Building Campaigns
by Hand. Let AI Do It.
Describe the threat. SCYTHE builds the campaign. You focus on what matters: fixing gaps.
Security teams have always been outpaced by the speed at which adversaries operate. SCYTHE 5.1 closes that gap. AI-driven campaign generation turns hours of manual TTP configuration into a conversation. You describe the scenario — ransomware intrusion, phishing-led credential harvest, lateral movement — and SCYTHE constructs a complete, sequenced, adversary-aligned campaign. No configuration. No guesswork. Just execution.
Natural Language Input
Tell It What to Test.
Type a threat scenario in plain English. SCYTHE maps it to the relevant TTPs and builds a full campaign automatically — no manual configuration required. Any analyst can generate expert-level tests on day one.
Intelligent Sequencing
Tests That Mirror Real Attacks.
The AI doesn't just pick techniques — it sequences them in the realistic order a real adversary would follow. Higher fidelity results. More meaningful detection data. Fewer false positives and missed gaps.
"90%+ reduction in test design time — from days to minutes."
SCYTHE 5.1 AI Campaign Generation
Platform Experience
A Faster, Smarter Platform.
Every Step of the Way.
Every part of the SCYTHE interface has been rebuilt for speed. From login to live results, 5.1 removes every second of unnecessary wait.
5–10×
Faster Campaign Loading
Large campaigns with 50+ devices that previously took minutes to load now open in seconds.
Live
Real-Time Test Monitoring
Device check-ins appear live as tests run. No more refreshing. No more guessing what's happening.
Shell
Remote Shell Access
Launch a live shell directly from test execution. Immediate, hands-on investigation without leaving SCYTHE.
SIEM
Built-In SIEM Correlation
The new SIEM view connects SCYTHE events to your external security data in real time — directly inside the test execution dashboard.
New Capability
Email Is Still the #1
Way In. Now You Can Test It.
SCYTHE 5.1 introduces a complete end-to-end phishing simulation platform.
Awareness training tells you what people should do. SCYTHE phishing simulation shows you what they actually do — and whether your controls stop it. Build lures, deliver payloads through integrated SMTP, and measure your detection capability from inbox to endpoint.
End-to-End Campaigns
Full email template builder — configure sender identity, links, and attachments. Deliver simulated payloads through integrated SMTP. Test detection and response from inbox to endpoint.
Reusable Scenario Library
Save templates for recurring use. Run the same scenario against different teams or timeframes to track improvement over time. Build a library that compounds in value.
Realistic Delivery
Payloads are delivered in OS-aware encrypted packaging designed to test your email gateway — not bypass it. Know if your controls are actually working, not just theoretically deployed.
Threat Preparedness Scores
Prove Your Posture.
Not Just Assert It.
For the first time, SCYTHE gives your team quantified, continuously-updated scores across the three threat categories boards and CISOs ask about most. Every test you run feeds the score. Every improvement is evidence you can report upward.
Ransomware Readiness
How well do your controls hold up against ransomware-aligned attack patterns? SCYTHE now scores it continuously — not once a quarter.
Phishing Resilience
Beyond awareness training — a measurable score that reflects how effectively your organization detects and stops email-based attacks at the control level.
Insider Threat Posture
A visibility score tracking whether your detection capabilities cover behaviors associated with malicious or negligent insiders — a gap most teams don't measure.
Scores update continuously as you run emulations.
A living view of preparedness — not a point-in-time snapshot.
Reporting & Dashboards
Results Your Board
Can Actually See.
Rebuilt from the ground up — faster, richer, and designed to connect your emulation results to the metrics that matter.
MITRE ATT&CK PDF Export
Generate a board-ready MITRE ATT&CK coverage report directly from the platform with a single click. No manual formatting.
Live Data, No Stale Caches
Every reportlet reflects real-time database state. What you see is what's actually happening — not what was true an hour ago.
Priority-First Loading
The most important data loads first. Your dashboard is ready to use in seconds, not after a full page load.
Assessment-Driven Scoring
Test event assessments feed directly into scoring and compliance tracking. Continuous, evidence-based visibility into your defense posture.
Security & Administration
The Platform You Use to Test
Others Is Now Hardened Too.
SCYTHE 5.1 sets a new baseline for platform security and compliance. Enterprise-grade authentication, compliance-ready defaults, and administration workflows that don't require a manual.
SSO Made Easy
Guided SSO setup wizard — no more manual SAML editing.
Import/export SAML configurations as XML for easy migration.
Full support for both SAML and OIDC providers.
Authentication Everywhere
Every platform route requires a valid authenticated session.
Workspace-level access controls enforced at login — no default-in for unassigned users.
Session integrity enforced after EULA acceptance and re-authenticated after device sleep.
Compliance-Ready by Default
Third-party analytics services (Pendo, Split.io) fully removed — reduced data exposure surface.
Critical server-side vulnerability patched. Security dependencies updated across the platform.
AI credentials and email server passwords no longer exposed in logs or plain storage.
