Picus platform overview

The solution: autonomous exposure validation

Three Products. One Platform. No Blind Spots Left.

Controls stop what patches never will. Agents run on signal, not schedule.

Every finding, from any source, gets a defensible decision and closes with evidence.

  • Picus BAS

    Breach & Attack Simulation

    Continuously tests what your EDR, SIEM, firewall, and WAF actually block and detect against the newest attacker techniques, then ships the fixes and re-validates that the gap closed.

  • Picus APV

    Autonomous Pentesting

    Executes real exploit chains against reachable assets, showing what an attacker can actually reach and do, not what a CVSS or EPSS score predicts. Live validation, run safely in production.

  • Picus EXV

    Exposure Validation

    Proves exploitability without firing an exploit, covering the restricted assets no live test can touch and the CVEs with no public or safe exploit, for a defensible verdict on day one of disclosure.

Reduce Threat Exposure

Focus on exposures proven exploitable through real attack simulations.

  • Validate exploitability with the latest threat intelligence and automated attack simulations.
  • Prioritize risks using the Picus Exposure Score, factoring exploitability and control effectiveness.
  • Direct remediation teams to fix validated gaps first and measure real risk reduction.

Quantify Your Cyber Risk

Measure cyber risk with real validation data instead of assumptions.

  • Continuously validate control performance and map results to financial impact.
  • Track business risk by department, service, or region in real time.
  • Share transparent, evidence-based metrics with executives and stakeholders.

Maximize Impact with Actionable Insights

Identify security gaps, and address them swiftly and effectively.

  • Quickly access mitigation suggestions to address policy gaps and misconfigurations.
  • Use vendor-specific rules & signatures to optimize security controls.
  • Get intelligent insights driven by AI.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

About Autonomous Exposure Validation Platform

Why is security validation important?

Security validation reduces cyber risk by verifying that an organization’s cyber security program is effective at defending its critical assets against the latest threats. 

Without consistent validation, security teams can never be confident that security controls and processes are working as expected.

How often should security validation be performed?

Due to the ever-changing threat landscape and IT infrastructure drift, security validation is a process that must be performed frequently.

Only by performing automated security validation can organizations obtain the insights they need to stay on top of their security posture and proactively identify and respond to risks sooner.

How regularly is the Picus platform’s threat library updated?

The Picus Security Validation Platform’s threat library is updated on a daily basis, ensuring security teams can simulate the latest threats. New emerging threats with actionable IOCs are added to the Picus Platform within 24 hours of disclosure.

How is the Picus platform licensed?

The Picus Security Validation Platform is licensed as a yearly subscription, which includes access to its entire threat library and unlimited simulations. The platform is comprised of five individually licensed products that can be licensed based on the validation use cases most relevant to an organization.

How is the Picus platform deployed?

The Picus platform is delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS). In addition to the cloud-based deployment (available in multiple regions globally), it can also be deployed on-premises for organizations with strict regulatory requirements. For specific use cases, the Picus platform also supports fully air-gapped networks (environments w/o any connectivity to the outside world).

Is the Picus platform SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. To meet the highest data protection and operational security standards, the Picus Platform is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.  Request a copy of our report here.
