Despite investing millions of dollars each year in security controls, organizations continue to be breached daily. As per the latest research by Verizon [1], breaches most often are not advanced zero day exploits, but nearly three-quarters of them are a result of human error, such as misconfigurations of existing security controls.
Validating security posture with Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools has become a de facto standard for modern security teams. By simulating real-world threats and accurately identifying prevention and detection gaps, security teams can better prioritize their actions and ensure that cyber risks can be mitigated consistently.
Picus has pioneered BAS for more than 10 years. Sharing our innovations and leadership in the category has seen us recognized as a Leader in the Frost and Sullivan Radar for Breach and Attack Simulation. Today, we are super-thrilled to announce that we have been recognized as a Customers’ Choice vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Breach and Attack Simulation Tools.
Customers’ Choice recognized vendors meet or exceed both the market average Overall Experience and the market average User Interest and Adoption.

This distinction is a particularly big deal for our Picus family because it comes from our customers — the people we’re here to serve. Here's what some of our reviewers had to say:
Because, with the help of this product we can perform continuously endpoint attacks via the latest tactics and techniques which are used by threat actors. Thus, you can test security products such as EDR and AV on your endpoint devices with lower cost and higher efficiency. Also, by using this product it helps to make continuous penetration tests to WAF, email gateway, FW, etc. As a result of these tests, you can easily detect missing signatures in your systems. picus has many more effective modules that I cannot list here. I prefer it because it provides a wide range of services, from SIEM integration to determining the time of receipt of logs, and most importantly it improves itself every year."
