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.

Dimensions summary
You buy this platform through a contract, priced across three separate options measured in units. Each option targets a distinct validation use case, so you license only what fits your needs. Security Control Validation is an entry bundle that tests how well your controls stop ransomware. Cloud Security Validation for AWS combines cloud auditing with attack simulation to prove which exposures attackers could reach. Cloud Security Auditing for AWS focuses on finding and fixing cloud misconfigurations. These options work independently rather than as stacked tiers, letting you scale unit quantities per option to match your environment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You license the platform as a yearly subscription. That subscription includes access to the full threat library and unlimited simulations. You buy each of the three options as separate unit-based commitments. This lets you license only the validation use cases relevant to your organization rather than a single bundled fee.
Cloud Security Auditing for AWS inspects your cloud with read-only access and scores misconfigurations. Cloud Security Validation for AWS adds attack simulation, running identities through a policy simulator to prove which exposures are reachable. Auditing finds issues; validation proves exploitability. You license each option separately by unit quantity.
The platform is delivered as software-as-a-service, with cloud-based deployment available in multiple regions. It can also be deployed on-premises for organizations with strict regulatory requirements. For specific use cases, it supports fully air-gapped networks with no outside connectivity. Deployment choice does not change the unit-based licensing structure.

Empowers Security Posture, Needs Faster POC for WAF
Reviewed on Apr 27, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Picus Security offers our customers a vendor-specific mitigation plan. It really helps them to instantly act upon the inputs provided in the report and improve their security posture. I also appreciate how easy the initial setup is, except for the web application firewall, but everything else is very easy. Additionally, the security controls are vendor-specific, guiding our customers on what to do, like downloading a particular signature or upgrading firmware. This feature is especially beneficial for our clients in banking, insurance, and finance.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a system integrator, when we do a proof of concept (POC) for our customers, it's really important for it to be fast. Picus Security can improve on how they approach the POC for the web application firewall. It's slightly time-consuming and requires a lot of approval from the customer side. Also, the initial setup was very easy, except for the web application firewall part.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picus Security helps our customers constantly validate their security controls and fix gaps, improving their security posture.
