Simple Setup, Fast Validation of Your Cyber Infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of installation and use, quick validation of the current invested cyber infrastructure for the customer. Assist in remediating or guidance to problems discovered
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a traditional Breach and Attack Simulation solution. Cannot go into great depth on the problem and support. Just provides guidance. Require ongoing operational commitment. Not a set-and-forget solution as well not the cheapest compared to the competition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picus provides real-time visibility and insight into real-world attacks that would succeed today—continuous validation in line with what attackers do, which is every day occurance as well as new. Fixes recommended are actionable, not Generic. Leading to mass reduction in noise and Faster remediation.

Picus Security can quickly spot loopholes in our security controls and provide remediation advice that’s as simple as a click or a cut-and-paste instruction into my existing security tools. It helps assure that we’re using our security tools to their fullest potential and that our network is as secure as it can be.
Safe Real-Attack Simulations with Full Security Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
I’d like to highlight that it enables the execution of real attacks without the risk of interruption, while also providing complete visibility into the overall security status.
What do you dislike about the product?
The clarity and graphic design of the reports intended for management need improvement.

It has enabled us to optimize our investment and reduce the SOC’s operational burden, allowing the security team to focus mainly on vulnerability remediation.
Proactive Security Control Validation That Uncovers Real-World Gaps
What do you like best about the product?
It proactively validates security controls against real-world attack techniques and helps identify security gaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and tuning can be complex and time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It identifies hidden gaps in our security controls by simulating real-world attacks.
Security Validation That Highlights Gaps, Not Just Reports
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Picus Security is how it combines comprehensive threat simulations with actionable insights. The platform makes it possible to continuously validate whether our defenses—from endpoint solutions to firewalls and SIEM—are actually effective against the latest threats. The frequent updates and breadth of the threat library keep everything relevant, and the integrations with existing tools make adoption seamless. Whether in a large enterprise environment or a smaller team setup, Picus helps transform cybersecurity from reactive to proactive, saving time and strengthening overall resilience
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t much to dislike. If I had to mention one thing, it’s that the reporting side could be more customizable for specific compliance frameworks or executive-level summaries. That said, the level of detail is excellent for technical teams, and the support team is very responsive in helping us work around these needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picus helps us see if the tools we already use, like firewalls and EDR, actually stop real attacks. Before, we mostly relied on vendor dashboards and assumptions, but now we get clear results from real simulations. This way we can spot gaps or misconfigurations early and fix them before they become a problem. It saves us time, gives us confidence in our defenses, and helps us focus on the areas that really matter.

The impact of picus on my daily security practices
What do you like best about the product?
Picus keeps us up to date with the latest threats. The continuous validation gives me confidence that our systems are well-protected.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reports are very detailed, but occasionally they can be overwhelming for non-technical users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picus bridges the gap between detection and response by showing us where we are weak. This gives us actionable insights to stay secure
Finally, we can answer the question: How secure are we?
What do you like best about the product?
With its products, Picus Security enables us and our clients to objectively test cybersecurity systems and maximize their effectiveness. It also allows us to assess the level of security we have achieved and to justify past and future investments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Any solution can be improved, and Picus Security’s products are no exception. However, in recent years, the vendor has successfully enhanced the capabilities of its products and services, promptly addressing the ever-changing needs of the cybersecurity landscape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping cybersecurity defense systems under constant testing and control is, in itself, essential to maintaining high levels of security. However, one of the most distinctive and valuable features of Picus Security is its ability to provide objective measurements of the level of protection achieved. In other words, it enables organizations to answer the question 'How secure are we?'—a question often posed by non-technical managers to CISOs. Picus makes it possible to respond with 'Executive' reports and metrics that are easy to understand even for non-specialists, thereby supporting the justification of past investments as well as those to be planned in future budgets
Picus Security: Strengthening Security Posture Through Proactive Attack Simulation
What do you like best about the product?
Picus Security excels in continuous security validation by simulating real-world attack scenarios in a controlled and automated way. This allows organizations to proactively identify vulnerabilities and gaps in defenses before attackers can exploit them. I particularly appreciate:
Actionable insights: It doesn’t just highlight weaknesses; it provides clear guidance on how to remediate them.
Integration flexibility: Works well with existing security tools (SIEM, EDR, firewalls) to enhance overall security posture.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Picus Security is powerful, there are a few areas that could be improved:
Learning curve: New users may find the platform’s interface and features slightly complex at first, especially without prior experience in security validation.
Resource requirements: Running continuous attack simulations can consume noticeable system and network resources, which may need planning in larger environments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Picus Security addresses a critical challenge in cybersecurity: the gap between security controls and real-world threats. Many organizations deploy firewalls, SIEMs, and endpoint protections but lack continuous validation to ensure these controls are effective against the latest attack techniques.
Picus Security solves this by:
Simulating real-world attacks continuously, identifying weak points in defenses before attackers can exploit them.
Providing actionable remediation guidance, which helps security teams prioritize fixes efficiently.
Validating security investments, ensuring that existing tools like EDR, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems are properly configured and effective.
Reducing risk of breaches, by proactively uncovering vulnerabilities that could lead to data loss, downtime, or compliance issues.
