Picus Security Platform

What Picus Security Platform is

Picus Security Platform helps security teams assess attack surfaces, exposures, and the controls meant to protect them. It runs breach and attack simulations against technologies such as EDR, SIEM, firewalls, WAFs, and email gateways, then supports remediation and retesting. The platform brings together automated penetration testing, breach and attack simulation, and exposure validation. Teams can cover network, endpoint, email, web application, data exfiltration, and URL-filtering attack surfaces, with hybrid simulation modes, continuous scheduling, custom scenarios, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping.

Picus describes a threat library with more than 30,000 TTPs and thousands of threat scenarios, with critical new simulations added under a 24-hour SLA. Its AI Threat Builder can turn a blog URL, PDF, CVE ID, or threat actor name into an ATT&CK-mapped simulation. Picus says it connects with more than 75 security technologies across EDR, SIEM, NGFW, WAF, and email. The service is delivered as SaaS, with on-premises and fully air-gapped deployment options, and yearly subscriptions include unlimited simulations. Pricing is available on request. A 14-day trial includes one simulation agent, a ransomware-only threat library, and recommendations for one technology; results become inaccessible and recurring simulations stop when the trial ends.

Who it suits

Picus suits security teams that need to validate controls, identify exposure, and direct remediation toward critical gaps.

Limits

The free trial lasts 14 days and provides one simulation agent, a ransomware-only threat library, and vendor-specific recommendations for one technology. When it ends, recurring simulations stop and simulation results are no longer accessible.

Getting started

1. Visit the Picus Security website.
2. Request pricing or start the 14-day trial.
3. Use the trial's one simulation agent and ransomware-only library.
4. Request help with a guided proof of concept through the trial support options.
5. Choose SaaS, on-premises, or fully air-gapped deployment for a subscription.

Verdict

Choose Picus if your security team needs ongoing attack simulation and exposure validation across multiple controls, with options for restricted deployment environments. Consider another option if you need a free plan.
