A few weeks ago, we had an incredible experience participating in the St. Louis Startup World Cup Regional Finals!

While SIMAPTIC did not take home the top prize, we were honored to finish in the Top 10. This year, 100 startups from across the St. Louis region entered the competition, representing some of the most promising emerging companies in AI, cybersecurity, biotech, health innovation, accessibility, geospatial, logistics, climate technology, education, and more. Sharing the stage with that level of regional talent was a privilege.

A huge congratulations to the winner, Amass BioSystems and Justin Traenkle. Amass develops symbiotic species that help farmers diversify revenue, reduce input costs, and improve soil health. An inspiring mission and a well-deserved win.

Now, our work at BC Security marches forward. As adversaries adapt, organizations need continuous, automated proof that their defenses actually work. brings automated threat validation directly to security teams so they can test against real-world tradecraft and close coverage gaps before attackers find them.

Heading to Black Hat Europe 2026? ✈️

Join the BC Security team Dec. 7 & 8 for Advanced Threat Emulation: Evasion (BH Edition), an intensive 2-day hands-on training at .

Modern enterprise defenses are designed in layers, making it tougher than ever for operators to move undetected. To beat modern EDR, AV, and kernel-level visibility, you have to understand how to systematically disrupt Blue's detection cycle.

What we cover across the two days:

🔹 Deconstructing the Defensive Kill Chain: Identify and break Blue's response workflows.

🔹 Active Evasion & Code Obfuscation: Strip high-confidence IOCs, perform API unhooking, execute ETW bypasses, and navigate kernel protections.

🔹 Exploiting the Human Factor: Manage weak indicators to blend into network noise, abuse alert fatigue, and evade SOC triage.

🔹 Weaponizing & Navigating LLMs: Accelerate payload iteration and evade defenses using AIwithout falling into common evasion traps.

🔹 Live Capstone: Put your techniques to the test against an active SOC in a real-time detection range.

Who is this for?
Red teamers refining advanced tradecraft, blue teamers seeking an attacker’s perspective, and researchers exploring Windows internals and obfuscation.

Effective defense isn't passive. It requires putting your environment through the paces of actual adversary tradecraft so your analysts know what real compromise looks like before an incident happens.

That reality is laid bare in a recent Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory, A Tale of Two SOCs, which details what happened when their red team tested two critical infrastructure organizations.

In the assessment, one SOC lacked the baseline visibility to spot lateral movement after a phishing compromise. The other had actively refined their alerts and processes, forcing the red team into an assumed-breach posture almost immediately.

The findings highlight a critical point: the goal of red teaming isn't just to see if you can break in; it’s about empowering defenders.

That principle drives everything we do at BC Security and inspired how we designed Simaptic.ai to automate continuous offensive validation.

The BC Security team is heading to Kentucky this Friday, Sept. 11 for the Louisville Metro InfoSec Conference!

🎙️ We will be taking the stage to present:

"AI in the Adversary's Toolkit: From Search Replacement to Autonomous Ops"

Attackers didn't wait for a roadmap before putting AI to work. In this talk, we break down that real-world progression across each phase of adoption, from early recon and automated payload evasion to full autonomous attack chains. With real examples from the field and what each shift means for defenders on the blue side.
