About Picus
Picus Security is an exposure validation company. One platform proves what attackers can exploit and what your defenses stop, turning every exposure into a defensible decision, autonomously and at the machine speed today's AI threats demand.
Picus validates attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls as one continuous loop: validate, decide, fix, re-validate. Instead of ranking findings by severity score, Picus proves which exposures are genuinely exploitable in your environment, including the business-critical, restricted, and air-gapped assets a live exploit can never safely touch, so teams act on what truly matters and resolve each exposure into a clear call to patch, mitigate, monitor, or accept with evidence.
The Picus Platform spans Autonomous Penetration Testing, Exposure Validation, and Breach and Attack Simulation, unified by Picus Swarm, a swarm of AI agents that runs the whole validation loop continuously. It reaches across on-prem, hybrid cloud, and endpoint environments, with 75+ integrations that ingest from scanners like Tenable and Wiz and operationalize through your EDR, SIEM, firewall, and ticketing tools.
The pioneer of Breach and Attack Simulation, Picus proves and improves the security controls you already own, doubling control effectiveness within three months. Picus holds a 95% recommendation rate, 4.9 on G2, and 4.8 on Gartner Peer Insights, and is the #1 Leader on Frost Radar for Automated Security Validation.

Finding exposures was never the hard part. Proving which ones an attacker could actually exploit is.
Picus Security helps enterprise security teams reduce cyber risk with the Picus Autonomous Exposure Validation Platform. Instead of ranking vulnerabilities by severity score, Picus proves what attackers can exploit in your environment and what your security controls stop, so every exposure becomes a defensible decision: patch, mitigate, monitor, or accept.
Adversaries now weaponize new CVEs in hours, and manual validation cannot keep pace. Picus closes that gap by validating attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls as one continuous loop: validate, decide, fix, re-validate.
Attack surfaces: which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, and what an attacker could reach by chaining them.
Exposures: whether a CVE is exploitable in your environment, including on business-critical, restricted, or air-gapped systems a live exploit cannot safely touch.
Security controls: what your EDR, SIEM, and firewall block, detect, and miss against current attacker techniques.
The platform brings together Breach and Attack Simulation, Picus Autonomous Penetration Testing, and Exposure Validation, with techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Picus Swarm, a team of AI agents, runs the whole loop autonomously and at machine speed, keeping every finding current as controls and assets change. Security teams use Picus to prioritize remediation by real exploitation risk, prove their controls work, get more from the tools they already own, and report measurable risk reduction to leadership.
Picus pioneered Breach and Attack Simulation in 2013 and is a Leader on G2 and Gartner Peer Insights, Frost & Sullivan's Company of the Year for Automated Security Validation, and holds a 95% recommendation rate, trusted by Fortune 1000 security teams across financial services, healthcare, energy, and technology.
