With a 97% “willingness to recommend” rating, the company believes this recognition reflects strong customer satisfaction and trust in Picus Security’s exposure validation capabilities
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Picus Security, the leading security validation company, today announced that it has been positioned as a Customers’ Choice vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Voice of the Customer for Adversarial Exposure Validation report. Picus received a 97% “willingness to recommend” rating from customers — the highest of all vendors in the VOC report.
Gartner says that
“adversarial exposure validation (AEV) technologies show how possible attack methods could successfully exploit an organization and get around security controls that stop and find attacks.” The report puts together real customer reviews to help security leaders judge suppliers based on how well they work in the real world. We looked at vendors based on “Overall Experience” and “User Interest and Adoption.” People who were in the Customers’ Choice quadrant did as well or better than the market average in both areas.
Picus got an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars in the study, based on 71 confirmed reviews as of August 2025. Picus got a 4.8 for product capabilities and a 4.7 for both support and sales experience. Picus thinks this shows that it is consistent across all the categories that were looked at. Most of the reviews came from mid- to large-sized companies in finance, services, and communications, which shows that the product is widely used in highly regulated fields.
Alper Memis, co-founder and CEO of Picus Security, said, “We believe this Customers’ Choice award shows how much our customers trust Picus to give them clear, evidence-based information about how well their security works.” “Our goal has always been to help organizations better understand and lower their real risks.” This recognition strengthens our commitment to enabling customers confidently test their defenses and get real security results.
