Overview

The Picus Security Validation Platform empowers security teams to continuously validate their defenses—prevention, detection, and response—by simulating real‑world attacks and uncovering exploitable exposures. With scalable deployment options (cloud, on‑premises, hybrid, even air‑gapped), daily updated threat libraries, and clear guidance, teams can focus remediation efforts on what truly matters and optimize control performance across the cyber kill chain.

Features and Capabilities

• Automated breach & attack simulation across prevention/detection controls using real‑world threat tactics and MITRE ATT&CK mapping
• Exposure Validation to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, reduce false positives, and target critical remediation efforts
• Security Control Validation: validates EDR, SIEM, NGFW, WAF effectiveness with automated runs, dashboards, executive reporting, and benchmarking
• Attack Surface Validation: continuous discovery and testing of internal/external assets for visibility and risk exposure
• Attack Path Validation: maps lateral movement and critical paths to essential assets—supports assume‑breach strategy
• Cloud Security Validation: scans cloud environments for misconfigurations and IAM risk vectors
• Detection Rule Validation: measures SIEM detections, identifies gaps or false positives in rules
• Numi: AI-driven virtual analyst provides instant insights, mitigation tips, and threat readiness checks
• Vendor-specific mitigations: includes signatures and rules from 80k+ prevention and 4.4k+ detection options
• 24/7 threat library updates: new tactics added within hours or up to 24 hours of disclosure
• Flexible deployment & SOC 2 compliant: cloud, on‑prem, hybrid, air‑gapped options; SOC 2 Type II certified
• Benchmarking & dashboards: compare posture vs peers and track prevention scores over time
• Integration friendly: works with EDR, SIEM, vulnerability management tools—fully integrates into existing stacks
