Case Study: Turkish Airlines achieves enhanced threat visibility and faster detection with Picus Security

Threat-centric Validation for a Vast Security Estate

Turkish Airlines, one of the world’s largest carriers with over 30,000 employees and an IT estate spanning thousands of servers and up to 60,000 endpoints across subsidiaries, needed a way to continuously measure cyber resilience, identify coverage gaps, and maximize security ROI without overburdening resources. To meet these challenges the airline turned to Picus Security and deployed The Picus Complete Security Validation Platform to quantify and strengthen the effectiveness of its prevention and detection controls.

Picus Security implemented continuous, threat-centric validation that delivered vendor-specific mitigation recommendations and detection analytics, enabling Turkish Airlines’ SOC to quickly find and fix gaps, optimize firewalls/EDR/WAF rules, and improve SOC–SecOps collaboration. The deployment produced enhanced visibility across the estate, quantifiable metrics to measure security effectiveness and ROI, and reduced time to detect and respond to threats.
