Case Study: a US-based federal credit union strengthens continuous security validation with Picus Security

Federal Credit Union boosts endpoint detection above 90 with Picus Security

The customer, a US-based federal credit union, faced the challenge of proving its security controls were effective under strict regulatory oversight. Its lean team needed to move beyond annual tests and assumptions, requiring continuous validation across its endpoint, network, email, and web security layers. They chose Picus Security to close these gaps, particularly for its Security Control Validation (SCV) and Attack Path Validation (APV) products.

Picus Security provided a continuous validation solution, running weekly simulations to test the entire security stack. This enabled the credit union to achieve measurable results, including endpoint detection scores consistently above 90 and year-over-year improvement in IPS/IDS coverage. The solution created a direct feedback loop for fixing issues and provided clear executive reporting, turning their security posture from a set of assumptions into a body of proven evidence.
