Prelude Operator
Continuous security testing for everyone.
Overview
Prelude Operator is an open-source platform designed to make continuous security testing accessible to all security teams. It provides a verified library of adversary techniques (TTPs) and allows users to deploy 'runners' (agents) on their endpoints to execute these tests. The platform helps teams validate their defenses, measure their security posture over time, and ensure they are protected against a wide range of threats. Prelude also offers a commercial version with additional features.

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Complex, multi-stage red team operations (it focuses on executing individual TTPs).
🏆 Alternatives
