Picus Security California United States of America

extends the Picus platform's existing validation capabilities, which are powered by attack simulation and GenAI. It enables organizations to proactively identify and mitigate security misconfigurations, such as weak policies and settings that could allow containers to run with insecure privileges and facilitate lateral movement. Now security teams can automatically assess the security of their workloads wherever they are located - on-premises, in containers, and also in cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

"Cloud security is perhaps the biggest barrier of entry for organizations that want to take advantage of container orchestration," said Volkan Erturk, Picus CTO and Co-Founder. "Kubernetes offers incredible opportunities for DevOps teams to deploy and scale new applications, but Security teams can struggle to keep pace.

"With the Picus Security Validation Platform, security concerns won't slow down an organization's digital transformation journey. This new offering will allow our users to consistently measure the security of their workloads and vastly reduce the effort needed to address exposures across growing IT environments."
