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.
