Validate Cyber Readiness Across Financial Systems
Picus Platform enables financial institutions to safely validate cybersecurity controls across banking, insurance, and capital markets environments. It simulates real-world threats across core banking systems, cloud services, and teller networks to uncover gaps, reduce risk, and demonstrate cyber resilience.
Use Cases
Protect Critical Systems with
Evidence-Driven Validation
Picus empowers BFSI security teams to continuously validate defenses against ransomware, identity-based threats, and attack paths that target core financial systems. Validate protection for internet-facing applications, data centers, cloud platforms, and regulatory tools like AML and KYC.
Validate risk across SWIFT, ATM networks, and digital banking systems with continuous visibility and prioritized mitigation guidance.
Attack Simulation (BAS)
Test defenses with safe simulations of ransomware, credential abuse, and data exfiltration attacks impacting financial operations.
Uncover lateral movement paths across hybrid networks—teller systems, cloud banking, and transaction databases.
Validate which threats can truly bypass your controls instead of relying on static risk scores.
Built For the Real-World Challenges
of Financial Institutions
Picus helps financial organizations mitigate exposure, meet compliance, and improve team efficiency by validating controls across environments—core banking, cloud, endpoints, and payment systems.
Simulate real-world attacks targeting transaction systems, ATM infrastructure, and SWIFT connections to measure control readiness.
Generate evidence-aligned reports to support SOX, GLBA, PCI-DSS, FFIEC, DORA, and GDPR—no manual validation needed.
Reduce alert fatigue with high-fidelity findings. Let your teams focus on real risk, not chasing false positives.
Validate how well your security stack defends against LockBit, Cl0p, Akira, BlackCat, and more.
Test controls across segmented environments like teller zones, online banking platforms, claims systems, and regulatory databases.
Continuously validate SIEM rules and improve detection pipelines without business disruption.
Reducing Risk in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) with Adversarial Exposure Validation
Discover how BFSI organizations are overcoming alert fatigue and prioritization blind spots by validating exposures with real-world adversary behaviors.
Why Financial Organizations Choose Picus
Security leaders across banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) trust Picus to continuously validate their security posture without disrupting operations. Here’s how Picus supports key roles across the organization:
-
CISOs gain financial-context visibility into control effectiveness across branches, cloud apps, and core banking systems. This enables clear communication of risk posture to executive stakeholders and boards.
-
SOC Managers validate the performance of SIEM, EDR, IPS, and DLP solutions against real-world threats like ransomware and credential abuse. This helps reduce false positives and alert fatigue.
-
Compliance Officers streamline audit preparation with evidence-backed reporting aligned with PCI-DSS, SOX, DORA, GLBA, FFIEC, and other regulatory mandates.
-
Security Analysts get hands‑on validation of their controls across online and mobile banking platforms, payment processing networks (e.g., SWIFT/ACH), and back‑office transaction systems. They can quickly identify what’s blocked, what’s missed, and where to prioritize remediation efforts based on real‑world security testing and validated exposures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Banks and insurers face increasing threats from credential theft, ransomware, insider threats, and data exfiltration. Attackers often exploit outdated systems, misconfigured access controls, and phishing to breach financial systems. Identity-based attacks, such as session hijacking and MFA bypass, are also rising.
Picus safely replicates the adversarial techniques used by threat actors known to target financial institutions, such as Scattered Spider, BlackCat/ALPHV, and FIN8, through controlled, non-disruptive simulations.These simulations mimic credential theft, token hijacking, lateral movement, data exfiltration, and ransomware deployment using real-world TTPs without executing malicious payloads.All actions are fully contained, logged, and designed to avoid any impact on production systems.Financial-sector organizations can continuously test the effectiveness of their identity controls, network defenses, endpoint solutions, and response workflows, validating their readiness against real attack behaviors while maintaining operational continuity.
Yes. Picus can simulate attack behaviors targeting SWIFT, ACH, and AML/KYC components to assess how well your defenses detect and respond. This helps validate segmentation, monitoring, and response effectiveness across critical financial workflows.
Validation shows which threats are truly exploitable and which ones are already blocked. This reduces noisy alerts from low-priority or ineffective detections. SOC teams gain clarity and can prioritize responses more effectively.
