SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Picus Security, the leading security validation company, today announced that it has been named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV). The AEV category includes technology that validates vulnerabilities and identifies techniques that allow adversaries to exploit an organization. This research helps security and risk management leaders understand the key use cases of adversarial exposure validation and navigate the AEV solution market.
The AEV market category brings breach and attack simulation (BAS), automated penetration testing and red teaming technologies together, three categories that were previously separate in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations. Gartner states that by “2027, 40% of organizations will have adopted formal exposure validation initiatives, most relying on AEV technologies and managed service providers for maturity and consistency.”
