SECURITY VALIDATION, RUN AUTONOMOUSLY

Picus Swarm

Run your security validation program autonomously, on a workforce of specialist AI agents:

  • Know whether your defenses hold the moment a CVE drops, a rule ships, or a config changes.

  • Close real gaps with ready-to-deploy fixes, then re-validate to confirm.

  • Stay ready as threats, controls, and your environment keep moving, at the autonomy level you choose.

Why Now · The Post-Mythos Era

Validation has never mattered more.

AI accelerates both sides. Adversaries weaponize vulnerabilities faster; defenders ship detections, configs, and changes faster too. And every change raises the one question only validation can answer: did your defense get better, get worse, or not move at all?

~10 hrs time-to-exploit for a new CVE
~135/day new CVEs, up 40% YoY

a workforce, not a tool

Five specialists. One orchestrator.
Your validation program, end to end.

Each agent has a job and a clear handoff. Tools produce alerts. This workforce produces decisions.

Numi AI ™

Senses what changes, decides which workflow it matters for, and conducts the swarm end to end. Holds the full context of every run, routes work between agents, and answers you when you ask.

  1. Discovery Agent

    Builds a live picture of your environment and correlates assets, exposures, and business context so every decision is grounded in reality.

  2. Exploitation Agent

    Runs autonomous penetration testing and chains real exposures to your crown jewels to prove what an attacker can actually reach.

  3. Validation Agent

    Confirms exploitability for every exposure and checks whether your controls prevent or detect the technique, keeping decisions defensible.

  4. Mobilization Agent

    Turns findings into action: deploys safe fixes, opens scoped tickets, and pushes policies through your control APIs.

  5. Reporting Agent

    Gives the right audience the right proof: practitioner detail, board-ready answers, and audit-ready chain of custody.

NUMI AI

Numi decides what runs, and when.

It senses what changed, picks the workflow that change matters for, routes work between the five agents, holds the context of every run, and answers you when you ask. A general-purpose AI agent has the world's knowledge and none of your environment. Numi has both.

Orchestration

Decides what to run, and when

Numi watches external feeds and internal change, compares each new state against a baseline, and starts only the workflow that change actually affects. One condition equals one run.

Grounding

Runs on your environment, not a template

Every decision runs on the Picus data fabric: Asset Intelligence, Exposure Intelligence, and Security Control Effectiveness across 75+ integrations. Your environment, not a generic template, which is what makes a verdict checkable.

In your hands

Answers you directly

Numi is not only behind the curtain. Ask it a question about your posture in plain language and it calls the specialist agents it needs to answer, then shows its working.

What Numi puts in your hands day to day

AI Threat Builder

Hand it a blog post, PDF, CVE ID, or actor name and get a playable, ATT&CK-mapped simulation in about nine minutes. Accuracy comes from verified frontier access under Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program.

Smart Action

Generates and auto-validates safe simulations of techniques that do not exist in the library yet, built on Action Archetypes, so coverage is no longer capped by what was written in advance.

Prompt-to-Query

Describe what you are looking for in plain language and get a ready-to-run platform query, without learning a filter syntax first.

AI Generated Widgets

Build a custom dashboard from a single prompt, so the view your team needs takes a sentence rather than a ticket.

why it matters

What sets the Swarm apart

A workforce, not a tool

A network of specialist AI agents, each with a defined role and a clear handoff. Each reasons rather than just automates. Outputs are decisions and verdicts, not raw data.

Always-on, signal-driven

Numi watches external feeds and internal changes continuously. Customer-defined triggers decide which signals start a workflow. No noise, no waiting for the next batch.

Grounded in your context

Every decision runs on the Picus data fabric: Asset Intelligence, Exposure Intelligence, and Security Control Effectiveness, fed by 75+ integrations. The fabric gives the swarm your reality, not a generic template.

Tunable autonomy, total visibility

You choose how much autonomy the swarm has, per workflow: Manual, Supervised, or Fully Autonomous. Every action is auditable. Start manual and graduate as confidence grows.

Customize without code

Core agents ship out of the box. Add specialized agents from the library, customize them, or build your own. Construct multi-agent workflows in seconds with a no-code engine.

Built on 13 years of validation

The agents reason; the validation runs on technology proven and operated at scale for over a decade. Picus pioneered Breach and Attack Simulation and pairs it with Autonomous Penetration Testing, each best-in-class.

Machine speed, with a human on the loop.

Autonomy is the easy part. What makes it adoptable in a regulated institution is being able to show exactly who decided what, on what evidence, and why anything fired at all. Picus introduced the human-on-the-loop model to Exposure Validation for exactly that reason.

No machine ever accepts risk. A named human approves it, with full evidence attached.

Humans at the gates, not in the path

The loop runs continuously with no human in the execution path. People participate only at decision gates, through tickets, so an edge case parks as a ticket instead of stalling the run.

Deterministic, never noisy

Unchanged state produces no signal, so noise is never generated rather than filtered after the fact. One new CVE across 500 assets is one run and one ticket. “Why did this fire” always has an answer.

No black boxes

Decisions run on your assets, your exposures, and your measured control effectiveness. No hallucinated attack paths, no opaque scores, and every verdict traceable to the evidence behind it.

Nothing goes stale silently

An accepted risk automatically re-enters validation when drift or new intelligence touches it, and a proof is re-tested whenever anything it depended on changes.

Autonomy is a spectrum, set per workflow. Manual, Supervised, or Fully Autonomous. Start where your risk tolerance sits today and graduate as confidence grows, with a full chain of custody on every action throughout. Automation runs tasks; autonomy runs workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Picus Swarm is a workforce of specialist AI agents that runs your security validation program end to end. Five agents handle discovery, exploitation, validation, mobilization, and reporting, orchestrated by Numi AI. It runs on signal rather than on a schedule, so validation fires the moment a CVE drops, a rule ships, or a configuration changes. In practice, roughly four to six hours of manual work per CVE becomes minutes, without adding headcount.

Yes. Autonomy is tunable per workflow across Manual, Supervised, and Fully Autonomous, scope and techniques are constrained by rules you set, and autonomous penetration testing is production-safe by design, preventing harmful exploits from executing. Every action is logged with a full chain of custody, so nothing runs that you cannot account for afterwards.

No. That boundary is absolute: no machine ever accepts risk. When the loop reaches a decision that requires risk acceptance, it opens a decision ticket routed to a named risk owner with the evidence, impact analysis, compensating-control assessment, and a recommended call attached. A person approves it, and the approval is recorded.

Signals are produced by comparing each new state against a baseline, so unchanged state generates nothing at all rather than being filtered later. Workflows fire once per condition, which means one new CVE affecting 500 assets is a single run and a single ticket, not 500 of each.

Numi AI is the intelligence and orchestration layer behind the swarm. It senses what changed, decides which workflow that change matters for, routes work between the agents, and holds the context of every run. It also powers everyday features across the platform, including AI Threat Builder, Prompt-to-Query, and AI Generated Widgets, and answers questions about your posture directly.

Because it is not reasoning from general knowledge. Every decision runs on the Picus data fabric, which unifies Asset Intelligence, Exposure Intelligence, and Security Control Effectiveness across 75+ integrations into a picture of your actual environment. A general-purpose agent has the world's knowledge and none of your context. Grounding is what makes the output checkable rather than plausible.

No, and most teams do not start there. Autonomy is set per workflow, so a program commonly begins with manually triggered runs, moves to scheduled and AI-assisted scenarios, and graduates to end-to-end autonomous operation with humans reviewing exceptions. You can mix levels across workflows indefinitely.

Yes. The core agents ship out of the box, an agent library adds specialists, and you can customize those or build your own. Multi-agent workflows are assembled in a no-code engine, and every fix the Mobilization agent deploys becomes a new signal that re-validates the environment.
