Key Capabilities / Features

- Consistent Threat Simulation Across the Cyber Kill Chain
Simulating over 5000 threats and more than 20k malicious actions, the Picus platform offers the most comprehensive and rapidly updated threat library of any security validation solution. New emerging threats with actionable IOCs are added to the Picus Platform within 24 hours. Unlike other vendors, Picus does not charge a premium for early access to new library content.

- Vendor-specific Mitigations for Security Controls
The Picus platform validates the performance of the broadest range of network security and detection tools, including Next-Gen Firewalls, Web Application Firewalls, Intrusion Prevention Systems, SIEM and SOAR platforms, plus EDR and XDR solutions. To enable security teams to address policy weaknesses swiftly, it also offers the broadest range of vendor-specific mitigations for both prevention and detection technologies.

- Integrated Asset, Vulnerability and Cyber Threat Intelligence
By integrating with a wide range of telemetry sources, the Picus platform enables security teams to obtain an up-to-date inventory of assets and understand the risk they pose based on their criticality, vulnerabilities, and security controls coverage. The Platform also leverages rich threat intelligence from Picus Labs and third-party feeds to aid threat profiling and ensure validation activities consider the threats most material to an organization based on factors such as industry and geography.

- GenAI Virtual Cyber Security Analyst
To empower security teams to quickly access critical, up-to-date information about their security posture and make purposeful risk-based decisions, the Picus platform includes a GenAI-powered virtual security analyst. Through simple natural language queries, users can instantly review the findings of security validation assessments and get tailored recommendations to prioritize and address exposures. GenAI is also used to curate threat intelligence, aid threat profiling, and map SIEM detection rules to ATT&CK techniques.

How we are different

- The Picus Platform is the most extensive security validation platform available today. Key use cases the platform addresses include Breach and Attack Simulation, Continuous Threat Exposure Management, SOC Optimization, Attack Path Management, Penetration Testing Automation, Attack Surface Management, Cloud Security Posture Management, and Ransomware Readiness.

- Picus believes that security validation should be quick and easy for every organization, even those without extensive security resources. It’s why the Picus Security Validation Platform is fast to deploy, easy to manage and does not require specialist offensive security expertise to use. On average, organizations that deploy the Picus platform see a 2x increase in their ability to block threats in just three months.

- Over the last 12 months, Picus has continued to enhance the capabilities of its platform to help organizations broaden the scope of security validation and prioritize risks more intelligently. Recent enhancements include the release of Attack Surface Validation (to discover internal and external assets), Picus Cyber Threat Intelligence (to guide threat profiling based on an organization’s context), and the integration of GenAI (to deliver easily accessible insights to guide risk prioritization and mitigation). When it comes to optimizing security controls, for example, no other vendor supplies such an extensive range of vendor-specific content, including prevention signatures for firewalls and detection rules for SIEM and EDR solutions.
