You Have the Security Tools.But Do They Really Work?
With ARMO CTRL — a free attack simulation lab, you can safely test how your existing security tools detect, alert, and respond to real-world threats.

What is CTRL?
ARMO CTRL (Cloud Threat Readiness Lab) is a free tool that helps you test your cloud security tools by deploying a safe, controlled attack lab that mimics real attack behaviors end-to-end. Unlike other attack simulations, CTRL starts with a web exploit and then pivots deeper into your cloud environment to simulate how real attacks move.
CTRL runs curated attack scenarios against deliberately vulnerable sample services that model realistic flaws; for example, command injection, local file inclusion (LFI), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and SQL injection. The goal is not to “find a bug,” but to validate whether your cloud and container controls detect, alert, and prevent as designed.
Curated
What’s included
01A curated set of practical attack scripts covering common web and container attack paths: command injection, local file inclusion (LFI), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and SQL injection
02Ready-to-run Kubernetes manifests for a lab with intentionally vulnerable services
03Simple, parameterized Bash scripts that exercise the included vulnerable services (not your production apps)
04Clear guidance on expected outcomes and what to monitor in your security stack
Security and detection engineering teams Validating their detections, alerts, and response playbooks.
Blue, red, and purple teams Running realistic exercises and training
Platform/SRE/DevSecOps teams Hardening container platforms and CI/CD guardrails

Prepared
Why use CTRL?
01Validate your defensesProve that your existing cloud and container security tools actually detect and respond to real-world attacks – not just on paper.
02Measure and improve coverageBenchmark your detections, policies, and alerts across layers (WAF, Kubernetes, CNAPP, EDR) and track measurable improvements over time.
03Train and prepare your teamsRun safe, realistic attack scenarios to exercise playbooks and strengthen your blue, red, and purple team readiness.
Simulate actual attacks to expose blind spots in your defenses before they’re exploited.
