PicusContinues to Grow in the Global Market with its Strategic Partnership with Mastercard

Picus, one of Turkey's leading cyber security companies, continues to grow in the global market with its strategic partnership with Mastercard.

Picus, which was founded in 2013 and is the pioneer of Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), has added a new one to its successes with its strategic partnership with Mastercard. Within the scope of the strategic partnership, Mastercard will make a minority investment in Picus, while the Full Security Control Verification Platform developed by Picus will be offered to Mastercard customers as part of the Cyber ​​Front Threat Simulation Service.

The Importance of Security Check Verification Platforms is Growing


The increasing cost of data breaches, both financial and reputational, poses a threat to all businesses. In order to minimize the ever-increasing risk of cyber attacks in rapidly developing digital environments, it has become a necessity for institutions to act proactively and take precautions against all possible attacks before they occur. At this point, it becomes important for organizations to choose security verification platforms to detect possible vulnerabilities against threats and strengthen operational resilience. In cooperation with Mastercard, Picus, the pioneer of Breach and Attack Simulation technology, will deliver its BAS technology to Mastercard customers all over the world via the Cyber ​​Front Service.

BAS Technology Maximizes Real Benefits by Making Security Investments Visible


Believing that security control verification is as important as vulnerability management for organizations to improve their cyber security approaches, Picus helps make this process safe, simple and continuous with the Full Security Control Verification Platform, which uses the Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) technology it developed. Picus' technology simulates all possible cyber threats, enabling organizations to verify, measure and optimize the effectiveness of security controls to prevent and detect these threats. Making the maximum benefit of security investments visible, Picus BAS technology not only detects vulnerabilities but also provides actionable improvement actions to help security tools work at their best. The technology used by Picus, the first Turkish cyber security manufacturer defined as "Cool Vendor" in Gartner's Security and Risk Management 2019 report, is recognized by leading research companies, including Frost and Sullivan and Forrester.

Cyber Front Will Improve Companies' Performance and Minimize Corporate Risks



“We are excited that Mastercard has chosen Picus' Breach and Attack Simulation technology to strengthen the security solutions it offers to customers around the world, allowing them to continuously verify, measure and improve their ability to defend against cyber attacks.” said Picus Security CEO and Co-Founder. H. Alper Memiş “The increasing cost of data breaches further increases the importance of businesses ensuring the effectiveness of their security controls. Directly installing security tools and assuming continuous protection against the latest threats is a risk security teams cannot afford. Mastercard's investment in Picus, a pioneer in Breach and Attack Simulation technology, is a great testament to the completeness of our solution. We look forward to sharing our expertise and working together strategically to deliver our products that comprehensively address today's security challenges.”
