41% of Attacks Bypass Defenses: Adversarial Exposure Validation Fixes That
Summary: Many organizations face significant security gaps, with 41% of attacks bypassing existing defenses despite the use of various security tools. Traditional testing methods are often insufficient for validating security effectiveness, leading to a false sense of security. Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) integrates Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and Automated Penetration Testing (APT) to provide continuous and real-world testing that enhances security posture and resilience against cyber threats.

Affected: Organizations using traditional security testing methods

Keypoints :

  • Only 59% of threats are stopped by security controls, leaving a significant number of attacks successful.
  • Current security testing methods lack continuous validation, leaving organizations vulnerable to evolving threats.
  • Adversarial Exposure Validation combines BAS and APT for a comprehensive security assessment, addressing both detection and attack pathways.
  • Regular testing enhances security confidence, improves SOC readiness, and tracks measurable security progress.
  • Picus Security’s platform offers real-time actionable mitigations and coverage of over 30,000 threats.
