Picus Introduces Numi AI, Your New Virtual Security Analyst

Now available for US instance customers; global availability coming soon.

Security analysts are on the front lines of defense, but the sheer volume of alerts, security findings, and threat intelligence they must process daily creates operational fatigue. The overwhelming workload—correlating exposures, researching threats, and determining viable mitigations—makes it difficult to focus on real adversarial risks.

Fragmented security data across multiple tools only compounds the challenge, forcing analysts to manually validate findings and sift through false positives. Even generating meaningful reports demands deep technical expertise, adding another layer of inefficiency.

Picus Numi AI: Smarter, Faster Security Operations

Introducing Picus Numi AI, a GenAI-powered virtual security analyst that gives teams instant access to security validation findings and prioritized mitigation recommendations through natural language queries.

Picus Numi AI

Numi, derived from the Latin term Numina, means “divine presence.” Picus Numi AI is built on the Picus Exposure Graph, consolidating essential data and findings from the Picus Security Validation Platform. This enables Numi to provide immediate, data-driven answers to a wide range of security questions. For instance:

• Which threat actors are currently targeting my industry?
• List the emerging threats that I haven't simulated yet?
• How has my security posture changed recently?
• What are the benchmark scores of recent threats that target my industry?
• How can I mitigate emerging threats that I could not block?
• What can I do to improve my score?

One of Picus Numi AI’s key strengths is providing a centralized view of critical security insights. The Security Control Validation (SCV) dashboard features a Numi widget that highlights the Top 5 Threats requiring immediate mitigation or simulation, based on Numi’s daily analysis of security gaps specific to your environment. From the latest threat intelligence to urgent findings, Numi AI ensures that essential information is always at your fingertips—helping your team quickly identify and address the most pressing risks.

How Picus Numi AI Enhances SOC Efficiency

• Faster Investigations
  Numi AI automates time-consuming research and analysis, instantly surfacing validated security gaps, adversary techniques, and prioritized mitigation actions—allowing analysts to act faster.

• Greater Threat Visibility
  By correlating real-world threat intelligence with your security validation data, Numi AI highlights hidden exposures and emerging risks, ensuring analysts focus on the most exploitable attack paths.

• Data-Driven Decision Making
  Numi AI delivers clear, actionable insights, eliminating guesswork and enabling analysts to validate security effectiveness with confidence.

• Increased Operational Efficiency
  By reducing manual correlation across fragmented tools, Numi AI streamlines workflows, helping analysts shift from reactive firefighting to proactive defense.

• Stronger Security Posture
  With automated threat analysis and prioritized mitigation guidance, SOC teams can close critical security gaps faster, strengthening defenses and reducing cyber risk.

The Picus Exposure Graph

The effectiveness of AI depends on the quality and breadth of the data it analyzes—cybersecurity is no different. Without full visibility into your security landscape, both human analysts and AI-driven tools struggle to identify and prioritize real threats. Many security teams rely on siloed technologies that, while effective individually, lack integration to correlate, interpret, and prioritize findings.

The Picus Security Validation Platform solves this by consolidating critical security data into the Picus Exposure Graph—a purpose-built knowledge graph with over 70 billion entities and relationships, providing a unified view of your organization’s security posture.

The Picus Exposure Graph

Advanced LLM Model

Picus Numi AI processes user queries and delivers actionable insights.

1. Query Interpretation: Numi translates natural language questions into structured queries.

2. Data Retrieval: It executes the query on the Picus Exposure Graph, extracting relevant security insights.

3. Response Generation: The results are sent back to the LLM to generate a clear, human-readable answer for the user.

Security remains a top priority. No sensitive customer data is ever shared with external AI models. All data stays securely within the Picus platform, with only meta information (such as entities and their relationships) used for processing.

AI At The Core

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have long been integral to the Picus platform, reducing the manual workload for security teams while strengthening defenses. Picus AI operates across three key layers to enhance security validation:

1. Reporting & Guidance: How can I best report on cyber risk?

• Generates tailored reports with key insights and mitigation recommendations.

• Helps security leaders communicate risk effectively with business stakeholders.

2. Insight Prioritization & Mitigation: What security gaps should I focus on?

• Simulates the most critical threats to validate prevention and detection capabilities.

• Correlates findings from BAS, automated red teaming, cloud security validation, and more to highlight high-impact security gaps.

3. Threat Intelligence Collection & Enrichment – What threats matter to my organization?

• Aggregates and curates threat intelligence, aligning it with industry, geography, and organizational context.

• Filters out noise, ensuring analysts focus on relevant, real-world threats.

These AI-driven capabilities automate analysis, prioritize risk, and provide actionable intelligence, enabling faster, more effective security decisions.

Picus Cyber Threat Intelligence And AI-driven Threat Profiling

The Picus Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) module gathers, analyzes, and enriches cyber threat intelligence from hundreds of sources, integrating it with the Picus threat library. This enables users to quickly search and filter threats by threat actor, malware, region, targeted industry, and more, providing actionable intelligence for proactive defense.

The platform creates dynamic, customer-specific threat profiles, continuously updating them with the most relevant threats based on an organization’s industry, geography, size, and other key attributes. By correlating this contextual data with the Picus threat library, security teams can ensure their simulations always reflect the latest real-world threats, enabling more accurate and effective security validation.

AI-based MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

Effective incident detection and response is essential for any mature security program, yet SOC teams often lack visibility into their actual detection coverage—even after significant investment in SIEM systems.

While frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK provide insight into adversary tactics and techniques, mapping them to an organization’s specific detection capabilities remains a challenge. Analysts are often forced to manually sift through hundreds of ATT&CK techniques to determine which ones are covered by existing SIEM detection rules, leading to inefficiencies and potential blind spots in threat detection.

Picus ATT&CK mapping

The Picus ATT&CK Mapping feature leverages GenAI to analyze detection rule queries and automatically suggest relevant MITRE ATT&CK techniques. This enables instant mapping of your entire detection rule base, providing a clear view of your detection coverage within seconds.

When combined with the Picus platform’s validation capabilities, SOC teams can quickly identify detection gaps and apply targeted mitigation recommendations, strengthening their overall security posture.

Enhance Cyber Resilience With AI-Powered Security Validation

Picus Numi AI elevates security operations by automating manual analysis, prioritizing real threats, and delivering validated, actionable insights—all powered by the Picus Exposure Graph. With GenAI-driven security validation, your team can eliminate guesswork, close detection gaps faster, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
