CyCognito vs Picus Security comparison

Legacy security testing approaches may help security teams find and remediate risks on-premises and directly managed infrastructure. But, they are no match for the rapidly expanding attack surface caused by modern, highly distributed IT ecosystems.

CyCognito was founded by veterans of national intelligence agencies who understand how attackers exploit blind spots, and who recognized the need for a radical new approach to threat assessment. Our mission is to build the next-generation security risk assessment product category: solutions that autonomously discover, enumerate, and prioritize each organization’s security risks based upon a global analysis of all external attack surfaces and attack vectors that a real attacker would likely exploit.

Independent from any vendor or technology, the unparalleled Picus Platform is designed to continuously measure the effectiveness of security defenses by using emerging threat samples in production environments. Created by a team that’s been working together more than 10 years already and has proven their expertise in enterprise cybersecurity, Picus is trusted by many large multinational corporations and government agencies.
