Blue Report 2025: How to Act on 16M Attack Simulation Findings

In this session, Picus Security’s Gürsel Arıcı delves into the Blue Report 2025 findings, our third annual study based on over 160M attack simulations. 🔍

Key takeaways:
• Prevention effectiveness dropped to 62%
• Critical blind spots in data exfiltration (3% prevention) and credential-based attacks (46% cracked, 98% success with valid accounts)
• Weaknesses in logging and alerting with only 14% of attacks triggering meaningful alerts
• The drift of security controls over time and how continuous validation restores confidence
• Operationalizing the findings with Picus Security Control Validation, Attack Path Validation, and more

This isn’t theory. It’s real data mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, empowering CISOs and security teams to validate and prove the effectiveness of their security programs.
