Picus was named the winner of the SC Awards Europe 2026 for Best AI Solution, The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Award for Best Breach and Attack Simulation Platform, and ChannelVision Visionary Spotlight Awards in three categories: Best AI Implementation, Cybersecurity, and Emerging Technology Breakthrough. The ChannelVision recognition marks the second consecutive year Picus has earned Visionary Spotlight honors. Collectively, the awards recognize the breadth of the Picus Platform and validate the company's approach to unifying breach and attack simulation, autonomous penetration testing, and exposure validation within a single agentic platform. The recognition reflects the idea at the center of Picus: validating attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls as one continuous loop that turns security findings into evidence-based decisions, prioritized fixes, and verified risk reduction. As organizations move toward continuous, evidence-based security programs, Picus continues to redefine how security teams measure risk, validate defenses, and stay ready for emerging threats. "The threats organizations face now move at machine speed, so validation has to as well," said Volkan Ertürk, co-founder and CTO of Picus Security. "We built Picus to apply agentic AI where it delivers measurable value for defenders: continuously generating real attacks, testing controls, and validating exposures against each customer's unique environment. These awards recognize that shift, and the vision behind it: that security teams should move as fast as the AI-driven adversaries targeting them, and answer 'Are we secure right now?' with proof, not opinion." The recognition comes as Picus continues to expand its leadership in agentic security validation. The company recently introduced Picus Autonomous Exposure Validation, powered by Picus Swarm, an agentic validation framework that automates attack simulation, penetration testing, and exposure validation across enterprise environments, orchestrated by Numi AI(TM). The launch marks the next evolution of the Picus Platform, advancing the company's vision: helping organizations continuously validate their defenses and act on the exposures that matter most. About Picus Security Picus Security, the leading exposure validation company, gives organizations a clear picture of their cyber risk based on business context. Picus transforms security practices by correlating, prioritizing, and validating exposures across siloed findings so teams can focus on critical gaps and high-impact fixes. With Picus, security teams can quickly take action with one-click mitigations to stop more threats with less effort. Offering Breach and Attack Simulation, Autonomous Penetration Testing, and Exposure Validation, working together for greater outcomes, Picus delivers award-winning, threat-centric technology that allows teams to pinpoint fixes worth pursuing.

Picus Security has launched its Autonomous Exposure Validation Platform, designed to validate attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls in response to AI-powered threats. The platform, powered by Picus Swarm AI agents, converges breach and attack simulation, autonomous penetration testing, and exposure validation into a single system. The platform addresses the challenge of rapidly weaponised vulnerabilities, with approximately 132 CVEs published daily. It validates whether specific vulnerabilities are exploitable within an organisation's environment and recommends compensating controls when patches are delayed. Picus Swarm comprises five specialist AI agents orchestrated by Numi AI, operating at user-selected autonomy levels with full audit trails. The company reports customers achieve twice the security control effectiveness within 90 days and an 89% reduction in mean time to resolution. Picus Security was named the number one Innovation Leader for Automated Security Validation in the Frost Radar 2026.

Frost & Sullivan recognizes Picus Security as the 2026 Global Company of the Year for advancing automated security validation. May 05, 2026, 03:00 ET Recognition highlights Picus for pioneering a unified, AI-driven approach that is reshaping the security validation market and delivering meaningful customer impact SAN ANTONIO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Frost & Sullivan today announced that it has awarded Picus Security the 2026 Global Company of the Year recognition in the automated security validation industry. This recognition highlights Picus Security's consistent leadership in delivering measurable security outcomes, advancing innovation, and driving customer impact in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year recognition to an organization that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation. The firm evaluates companies based on a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Picus Security excelled in both, aligning its long-term vision with enterprise security needs while executing efficiently at scale. The company's strategic agility and sustained investment in autonomous exposure validation have enabled it to scale effectively across North America, Asia-Pacific, and other global markets, serving large enterprises across sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, government, and technology. "Picus Security's rapid growth, diversified revenue streams, expanding global presence, and strong partner ecosystem reflect a company entering a new phase of accelerated scale. Its platform breadth, enterprise adoption, and continued investments across integrations, alliances, marketplaces, and service providers position it to play a pivotal role in advancing the automated security validation market," said Ying Ting Neoh, an industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. Picus Security continues to differentiate through a unified, AI-driven security validation platform that integrates breach and attack simulation, automated pentesting, and autonomous exposure validation to measure real exploitability, correlate siloed findings, and reveal the small fraction of exposures that truly matter. With evidence-based reporting, compensating control guidance, and always-up-to-date attack content, Picus Security transforms enterprise security validation into a continuous, automated, and intelligence-driven practice. "We've entered the Post-Mythos and GPT-Cyber era. Frontier AI models can now write exploits and launch autonomous attacks against thousands of targets in parallel, yet most enterprises are still validating their defenses at human speed," said Volkan Ertürk, co-founder and CTO of Picus Security. "That gap is no longer survivable with periodic pentesting or manual red teaming. It demands autonomous validation: continuous, AI-driven proof that your controls hold and your real exploitable paths are closed. Frost & Sullivan's recognition affirms that Picus is leading this shift, and that the market is ready for it." Frost & Sullivan commends Picus Security for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's vision, innovation pipeline, and customer-first approach are shaping the future of the automated security validation industry and enabling enterprises to manage cyber risk in dynamic environments proactively.
