SOLUTION BRIEF

THE PICUS COMPLETE SECURITY VALIDATION PLATFORM ANDZSCALER ZIA INTEGRATIONCONTINUOUSLY VALIDATE YOUR SECURITY EFFICACY
Ensuring a security stack is configured
correctly can be challenging. Traditional
security stacks leveraging different point
solutions creates complexity and potential
gaps. Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange delivers
a complete security stack through a SecureServices Edge (SSE) architecture, delivered
as a service from the cloud.
The Picus Complete Security Validation Platform
integrates with Zscaler by analyzing activity logs tocontinuously test, validate and report on security
efficacy. Attacks such as data exfiltration, network
infiltration and endpoint attacks are performed
safely and checked against Zscaler's detection andprevention capabilities.

Integration Benefits

How It Works✔ Improve Attack Readiness
The Picus Platform continuously challenges Zscaler ZIA against
over 3,500 threats (comprising 18k+ actions). The platform
provides visibility of Zscaler ZIA’s network and cloud readiness, andfurthermore, identifies detection gaps and answers questions onreadiness for users with an intuitive UI.

To validate your existing Zscaler ZIA setup, follow
these simple steps:✔ Achieve Better Detection Rates and Faster Response TimeThe integration aligns offense and defense teams, enables
proactive SecOps and SOC practices. By this, the joint integration
optimizes prevention and detection abilities of ZIA andcontinuously improves alerting accuracy and detection rule drifts.
✔ Operationalize MITRE ATT&CK Matrix to Achieve
Metrics-Driven Operations
By automatically mapping threat coverage findings for bothsecurity events and detections to the MITRE ATT&CK, The Picus
Platform enables Zscaler customers to measure gaps and prioritize
the mitigation of adversary techniques.

ABOUTKEY USE CASESAt Picus Security, we helporganizations to continuously validate,measure and enhance theeffectiveness of their security controls
so that they can more accurately
assess risks and strengthen cyber
resilience.

Zscaler ZIA Policy Validation

As the pioneer of Breach and Attack
Simulation (BAS), our Complete
Security Control Validation Platform isused by security teams worldwide toproactively identify security gaps andobtain actionable insights to address
Them.
Picus has offices in North America,
Europe and APAC and is supported bya global network of channel andalliance partners.

The Picus Platform enables organizations to test and measure the ability of
their Zscaler ZIA policies to defend against the latest threats. Whenweaknesses or gaps are identified, the platform helps to gauge their impact
and optimize existing toolsets to address them.

Enhancing Detection Efficacy
The Picus platform identifies weaknesses and misconfigurations in Security
Event and Event Management (SIEM) to verify if there is a failure to generate
alerts and retrieve correct logs for analysis. The Picus Platform correlates
results with corresponding SIEM alerts and events to ensure they are properly
tracked on the SIEM, thereby measuring the effectiveness of your Zscaler
security control.

Security Posture Management
The Picus Platform enables security leaders to obtain a clearer picture of theirsecurity posture by assessing and quantifying the effectiveness of security
controls to prevent, detect and respond to attacks across the cyber kill chain.

Picus Security Validation Platform simulates real-world threats to continuously
validate, measure and enhance the effectiveness of organizations’ cyberdefenses. The platform bolsters cyber resilience by identifying threat prevention
and detection gaps, supplying actionable mitigation recommendations, and byfacilitating a more proactive and threat-centric approach to security.

Why is security validation important?
●Controls don’t perform out-of-the-box and must be customized.

●New threats mean that security tools can lose their effectiveness.

●

Infrastructure drift creates weaknesses that can go unaddressed.

●

Pen testing is vulnerability-focused and quickly out of date.

●

Boards, auditors & insurers want evidence of security effectiveness.
