Validate and Secure Your Network
See exactly where your defenses stand, fix any gaps with actionable mitigation suggestions, and boost your network's resilience—all in one platform.
Why Conduct a Network Security Assessment?
Your network is the backbone of your organization. A network security assessment evaluates your defenses' performance, identifies vulnerabilities, and ensures compliance. A network risk assessment goes further by uncovering specific risks, helping prioritize critical assets, and allocating resources effectively.
Together, these assessments allow you to:
-
Identify and address gaps in your defenses.
-
Strengthen your network with actionable insights.
-
Maintain a resilient and compliant security posture.
What makes Picus unique? Picus streamlines this process with tailored simulations and automated assessments, providing clarity and confidence in your network's ability to withstand real-world threats.

How Picus Enhances Network Risk Assessment
Don’t just monitor your network—validate it. Simulate real-world attacks and get instant, actionable fixes.
Validate the Effectiveness of Security Controls
Ensure that your Next-Generation Firewalls, IPS, or EDR operate as they should. By simulating real-world threats, you'll gain insights into how well your network controls perform and highlight areas where adjustments may be needed.
Focus on What Matters Most
Not all risks are equal. Picus Security Validation Platform categorizes threats by severity and type so you can prioritize addressing the most critical vulnerabilities first. This helps you allocate resources efficiently and focus on securing the areas that matter most.
Fix Issues with Vendor-Specific Mitigations
Get clear, step-by-step mitigation guidance tailored to your security setup for any vulnerabilities found. Whether you use solutions from Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortigate, or others, you'll receive recommendations to remediate gaps quickly.
Continuous Network Visibility
Network risk assessment isn't a one-time task. Continuous validation gives you an ongoing view of your network's security health. This means regular insights without the manual workload, so you can stay on top of vulnerabilities and quickly respond to any emerging gaps.
Simulate in minutes
—no configuration required.
Access to ready-to-run attack templates, including IPS/IDS & Firewall testing for most recent threats, malware download threats by APT groups, and more!

Step-by-Step Network Attack Simulation
1. Choose Your Attack Scenario
Begin by selecting a specific attack type that aligns with the risks your organization faces. You can choose from various attack patterns based on emerging threats or specific scenarios, including tactics from known APT groups that may target your industry.


2. Simulate Network Infiltration Attacks
Once you've chosen a scenario, Picus simulates network infiltration attacks to breach your network security systems. This process is automated and easy to use, so your security team can run as many attack simulations as they want.
3. Prioritize Based on Impact
After completing each simulation, Picus delivers a full report. This includes a validation of security controls, showing the effectiveness of the prevention capability of your network security controls and endpoint detection and response (EDR). Each report prioritizes the most urgent gaps, ensuring your team can take immediate action.
