    The Picus Security Validation Platform

     Info
    Deployed on AWS
    The Picus Security Validation Platform simulates real-world cyber threats to validate organizations cyber readiness across on-premises environments and the cloud. Supplying actionable insights and mitigation suggestions, the platform helps security teams address coverage gaps and optimize security controls before breaches can occur.

    Overview

    The ongoing migration of workloads to the cloud continues to increase the challenge security teams face defending large IT estates against the latest threats. Picus Cloud Security Validation for AWS, part of the Picus Security Validation Platform helps you to stay on top of Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management by validating that AWS services and IAM policies are configured securely.

    Picus Security Control Validation, another licensable product in the Picus platform, extends validation even further by measuring the effectiveness of security controls to both prevent and detect attacks.

    Highlights

    • Simulate cloud-specific attacks to identify overly permissive policies that could enable attackers to escalate privileges and compromise AWS services.
    • Automatically audit key AWS services to identify and address cloud misconfigurations such as misconfigured resources, insecure data storage, logging deficiencies, and more.
    • Validate the effectiveness of network and endpoint security controls to prevent and detect thousands of real-world threats, including ransomware and APTs.

    A very well-rounded BAS solution

    Reviewed on Jul 07, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    We have been using Picus BAS solution for some time now and I have to admit it is very useful to manage, navigate and work in our daily needs. It has seamlessly integrated with out infrastructure and we get results with all necessary details from the simulations. Implementing Picus in our infrastructure was very easy as we had all necessary documentation and support from their side. Picus has provided us with very helpful information as the results from the simulations regarding detection and coverage assessments and also it was a huge aid for the threat intelligence team in regards of the threat landscape development and it has become a part of our daily operations that we frequently use. In addition, Picus has an excellent customer support where the team is always more than willing to help with any issues we faced so far. Both in technical terms and finding the solution of the issue, but also resolving the issue in a timely manner. In general I would say Picus Security is a very customer oriented company that takes clients needs and requests into consideration, and constantly tries to improve the platform with features and additions to improve their products.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Not much can be mentioned on "disliking" about Picus. There were some cases where we faced some issues regarding the integration that was failing and didn't provide the needed results (although this cannot be blamed entirely on Picus, since the integrations are 3rd party, and both ends needs to work). Another point to mention, were times when we discovered some minor bugs that affected the operational part of the platform. Finally, in some occasions we noticed Picus was updating their documentation in their knowledge base and we weren't informed. That resulted in affecting our experience in our operations since some requirements were changing. Despite these, in all cases, the support team was really quick to reply and resolve the issue providing excellent technical support and communicating until the issue was resolved.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Breach and attack simulations, managing our threat landscape and attack surface, and assisting us in our use case development process.
