The Challenge
As a major financial leader growing rapidly through acquisitions, the organization faced an increasingly complex security landscape. Their existing security teams were hampered by fragmented testing methods and a lack of consistent visibility across their global environment. Security validation relied on unsustainable manual processes, including manual testing and internal audits, which were slow and delayed results. While red and blue teams utilized open-source simulation tools, these legacy tool limitations meant the process was very limited and failed to provide unified, actionable reporting. As a result, the organization faced hidden blind spots, with defensive gaps that could go undetected between periodic audits. Additionally, operational silos persisted, as different security teams worked independently, making it difficult to assess how effectively controls were operating across the entire infrastructure.
The Solution
Continuous security control validation replaces outdated, periodic audit cycles by using targeted simulations that show which control layer blocked or missed an attack, all delivered through a fast-to-deploy, intuitive platform integrated with enterprise tools. To address these complexities, the organization selected the Picus Security Validation Platform following an extensive evaluation by offensive security, defensive security, architecture, and engineering teams. Picus provides automated security validation that reduces validation time from weeks to hours while offering continuous security validation across a global environment. Chosen for its intuitive interface and seamless integration with existing enterprise tools, Picus also delivers instant visibility with real-time insights by using automated simulations to uncover defensive gaps and provide immediate visibility for remediation. In addition, Picus unifies security teams and enhances collaboration by breaking down silos and enabling more effective coordination between red and blue teams.
The Outcome
The solution proved control effectiveness in real time rather than relying on assumptions, delivering enhanced visibility into control performance across complex environments. It also provided partner-level support, with a team that acts quickly on user feedback, and delivered clear evidence of security effectiveness aligned to industry standards such as NIST and PCI DSS.
The Picus team is genuinely invested in our success. They act quickly on feedback, continuously innovate, and approach customer relationships like true partners."
