Case Study: MAIRE achieves proactive, validated cyber risk control with Picus Security

How MAIRE’s Cyber Fusion Center Found Time and Cost Savings with Security Control Validation

MAIRE Group, an industrial organization, needed better visibility into how its cybersecurity controls were actually performing. Despite a mature security operation and a broad toolset, the team struggled with “paper vs. reality” security, relying on theoretical risk scores, point-in-time tests, and siloed processes that did not show real-world defense effectiveness. Picus Security helped address this by providing a way to validate security posture against modern attack techniques.

Using the Picus Security Validation Platform, including Security Control Validation and Attack Path Validation, MAIRE continuously tested defenses, exposed hidden misconfigurations, and prioritized the most dangerous attack paths. With Picus Security, the company improved collaboration across security, IT, and business teams, optimized existing tools for better ROI, and aligned security reporting with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and ISO/IEC 27001—shifting from reactive measures to measurable, proactive cyber resilience.
