Picus Security Validation Platform is a security validation platform that simulates real attack techniques in a controlled, safe way to measure whether security controls actually stop threats. With breach and attack simulation (BAS), attack path validation, automated penetration testing and detection rule validation, it exposes protection gaps in systems such as EDR, firewalls, IPS, SIEM and DLP.

Core Capabilities

Breach and attack simulation: Current attack techniques are tested without harming production, measuring which control stops what.

Attack path validation: The paths an attacker could take to reach critical assets are revealed.

Remediation guidance: Configuration and detection rule improvements are provided for the gaps found.

Benefits for Organisations

More protection is gained from existing security investments, audit preparation gets easier and false confidence decreases. Teams prioritise genuinely exploitable risks over theoretical vulnerabilities.
