How It Works

How Piscium Works — Discover, Prioritize, Validate

Request a technical demoDownload technical brief

We provide an attacker-side view, impact-based prioritization, and continuous validation so security teams can reduce exploitable routes and verify that fixes actually work.

1. Discover — See what attackers see

Continuous asset and exposure discovery builds a complete inventory across cloud, on-prem, and OT environments. We map reachable services, shadow assets, and attacker-facing routes so you have a single source of truth for exposure.

  • Continuous discovery: cloud APIs, on-prem scanning, OT/ICS adapters
  • Attacker-side modeling: simulated reconnaissance and exposure reachability
  • Asset context: labels, owner, business impact, last-seen timestamps

2. Prioritize — Fix what actually reduces risk

We convert exposure into attacker paths and score them by exploitability and operational impact. Prioritization is not based on vulnerability counts — it's based on which fixes actually reduce exploitable routes to critical assets.

  • Attack path mapping: chain exploits into real routes
  • Impact scoring: operational/production impact + likelihood
  • Work orchestration: auto tickets to ITSM with remediation steps and risk delta

3. Validate — Prove the fix

Automated emulation runs safe, controlled attack simulations that confirm whether remediations break attacker paths. Each validation produces evidence and a pass/fail trail for compliance and leadership reporting.

  • Automated attack emulation / validation tests
  • Proof-of-remediation reports with before/after attack graphs
  • Continuous verification to detect regressions

Watch a simulated attack traveling from internet-exposed asset through chained steps to a critical asset. Observe how Piscium scores each hop, recommends targeted remediation, and verifies the remediation breaks the path.

Platform & Integrations

Piscium ingests telemetry from hundreds of sources, correlates exposures, and delivers prioritized evidence to your SIEM, ITSM, and security workflows. The platform is deployable as SaaS or hybrid with secure connectors and strict data handling.

Proof-of-Action — See the risk drop

Each remediation yields measurable impact: we show the path count, risk score, and verification status before and after changes, plus a downloadable remediation report for audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long to start producing results?
You can run an initial discovery and get first attack paths within hours; prioritization and validation produce measurable evidence within days. Details vary by environment.
Do you run destructive tests?
No. All validation uses safe, risk-aware emulation that respects business availability and operator controls.
Which platforms do you support?
Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), on-prem systems, OT/ICS adapters, and integrations with common SIEM and ITSM tools.
