Picus Security
Picus Security is a cybersecurity company that pioneered Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) in 2013 and now ships the Picus Security Validation Platform for Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). The platform continuously simulates real-world adversary techniques against network, endpoint, email and cloud controls, scores prevention and detection effectiveness, maps results to MITRE ATT&CK and the Unified Kill Chain, and returns vendor-specific mitigation signatures and validated detection rules from the Picus Mitigation Library. The Picus Customer API is a public REST API documented at apidocs.picussecurity.com and served from api.picussecurity.com, exposing simulations, simulation run results, the threat library, threat templates, agents, integrations, mitigation and detection content, exposure instance scores, users and roles, and activity logs, authorized with OAuth2-issued refresh and access tokens.
Picus Security publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Activity Logs API, Agents API, Authentication API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Cybersecurity, Security Validation, Breach and Attack Simulation, Adversarial Exposure Validation, and Continuous Threat Exposure Management.
The Picus Security catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Picus Security’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, and 30 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cisco DevNet Ecosystem (builders on Meraki, Catalyst, ISE, ThousandEyes, Splunk) | builds-on | 53.0 | - | - |
| ServiceNow Store (partner apps + ServiceNow Certified App) | builds-on | 53.0 | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
