Picus Security Platform vs ShadowBreach

Picus Security Platform helps security teams validate attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls to prioritize risks and remediation. It simulates attacks against controls such as EDR, SIEM, firewalls, WAFs, and email gateways, then supports remediation and retesting. The platform combines automated penetration testing, breach and attack simulation, and exposure validation. Its threat library contains more than 30,000 TTPs and thousands of scenarios; critical new simulations are added under a 24-hour SLA. AI Threat Builder converts inputs such as a blog URL, PDF, CVE ID, or threat actor name into an ATT&CK-mapped simulation. Picus says it integrates with more than 75 security technologies. Deployment options include SaaS, on-premises, and fully air-gapped environments, with yearly subscriptions and unlimited simulations. Pricing is available on request, and a 14-day free trial is listed. The trial includes one simulation agent, a ransomware-only library, and recommendations for one technology. After the trial, recurring simulations stop and simulation results are no longer accessible.

ShadowBreach is an AI-enabled cyber operations platform from Markon Solutions for planning, executing, and documenting attack activity within a local environment. It is designed for red team operations, exercise red cells, and repeatable test and evaluation. The platform parses threat and vulnerability data for continuous testing and self-service red team work. Operators set escalation thresholds, while the system records the reasoning behind actions and maintains a decision trail during an engagement. Its adversary emulation adapts tactics when defensive actions change. Teams can rerun standardized test packs against new builds, schedule testing continuously, and scale scenarios across training audiences. Framework-mapped reporting is generated during operations to reduce manual documentation while retaining operator authority. Markon is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, United States. ShadowBreach is paid with pricing on request; Markon invites prospective users to contact its team and request a product demo. No third-party integrations, certification, compliance standard, or support terms are listed.
