Picus Cloud Security Validation (CSV) is an automated assessment and attack simulation tool designed to identify cloud misconfigurations and overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) policies. The product audits essential cloud services, gathers cloud resources, and simulates attacks to support cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM).
The solution provides visibility into security exposures across cloud environments and containerized applications, enabling organizations to prioritize risks, validate data storage and access controls, and track posture improvements. Through a local policy simulator and scheduled audits, it helps verify that policies follow the principle of least privilege.
