About Picus Security

Picus maps techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, fires them safely at the live stack, and tells you which prevention and detection controls failed.

Autonomous pentest and exposure validation sit on the same platform so CTEM is not a slideware overlay on a BAS library. The 2026 Autonomous Validation Summit is the company arguing that validation has to run at attacker speed, not quarterly.
