Picus Security vs Cymulate
Get immediate, accurate and actionable results instead of another complex tool to manage.
3 Reasons Why Customers Choose Picus over Cymulate
Faster and More Accurate Mitigation
Picus validates your security controls and provides vendor-specific mitigation content for both the prevention and detection layers of your selected vendor's security controls. This helps you quickly address gaps and continuously optimize your security posture.
Cymulate's lack of vendor-specific mitigation and reliance on generic recommendations require extensive manual research on the client side, placing an operational burden on SOC and security teams and offering less overall value.
Swift Response to Emerging
Threats
Picus Labs researchers ensure the rapid incorporation of emerging threats, adding them to the Picus Threat Library within 24 hours under a guaranteed SLA, provided there is a publicly available PoC. By focusing on threats highlighted in US-CERT and CISA alerts, this quick response keeps our clients' defenses up-to-date and highly responsive.
Cymulate's platform, on the other hand, lags in incorporating new threats, often taking days post-disclosure, which significantly decreases the objective of simulating these threats.
Unrivaled Customer Experience
Picus is praised by our customers for its ease of implementation and operation. Integrating with your existing tools takes just a few clicks, and if assistance is needed, the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) team is just a call or email away.
In contrast, Cymulate poses challenges for particularly smaller security teams trying to leverage its full potential. Integrations are cumbersome to manage, and navigating the results requires significant expertise. Additionally, despite implementing broad, risky exclusions for the Cymulate agent, smooth coexistence with existing solutions is not guaranteed and compatibility issues may still arise.
Choose a Solution That Sets You Up For Success
With Picus, you minimize your threat exposure by automatically identifying critical prevention and detection gaps and getting the insights you need to mitigate them swiftly.

CymulateEven after incorporating the threat, customers need a paid subscription to access the 'immediate threats' module. |
Automate Detection Rule Maintenance
With Picus Detection Rule Validation, SOC/security teams can ensure detection rule health, verify log source coverage, and identify performance inefficiencies, eliminating the manual effort required for SIEM maintenance. Moreover, using AI-supported mapping of existing detection rules to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, security teams get a unique view on their detection coverage. |
CymulateCymulate doesn’t provide this innovative capability, placing a significant burden of manual and resource-intensive maintenance on security teams. |
Customer Experience
