    If you are going with SAST process or want to improve overall security posture then go for it like integrating it with post deployment steps. If you are more concerned about proactive controls better choose other options such as pee-commit hooks and CI security. Also choose other tools for DAST and API scans.

    Picus Security
    If you want to analyze the full path focusing on the signatures it’s the best product in the market. If you want to test phishing, data exfiltration/DLP, DNS I don’t recommend Picus. Scenario based attacks also lacking. However Picus support is awesome and I like the development team. When we open a case, they’ll always return with the right answer

    Picus Security
    • It has thousands of signatures and up-to-date attack vectors (It's the largest set in the market)
    • Attack vectors are mapped with existing vendors like Checkpoint and Mcafee, where you don't spend time finding out which cve mapped to which protection
    • Ability to focus/highlght solely new threats, it's superb for 0days and up-to-date protections. As there are always timing issue between updates and apply the updates on the products.
    • Blocked vs not blocked ratios on the dashboard with drill down menu specifiying the set of protections or signatures on the defensive measures
    • Already mapped mitre att&ck framework on the dasboard. SOC and analyst team using the Mitre framework.
    • Detection analytics enhance the analytics capabilities with pinpoint accuracy where to focus and how to prevent
    • Timeline and scheduled reports from the dashboard in flexible format

    Usability
    Checkmarx
    Their API based customizations which I leveraged to create an ASPM package, which is developer friendly and can extend above the dashboard features, other ones are UI which is great and feels clutter free. Menu and navigation is also good so as support. Only drawback is sometimes scan takes longer which I feel so can be reduced

    Checkmarx is easier to integrate with development tools and gives quick feedback during coding, which is helpful for developers. Veracode is more focused on scanning and reporting for compliance, but it’s more complex to set up. We chose Checkmarx because it fits better into our development process, offering faster scans and more useful suggestions for fixing problems

    We use other vendors Verodin, AttackIQ, SafeBreach, Cymulate etc. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Please take a look at TrustRadius reviews of each product. I don’t want to go head to head for each product in this
    review. I select Picus because it's local startup company in our region. I like their support and engineering team. Support is marvelous. Product is giving what we expected from the product. Price is adequate. Reporting and dashboard is superb.

    • With Picus we have the tangible KPIs for the security
    • Detetcion and Prevention rates for the latest attacks are significantly increased
    • We work with many security vendors. We use picus scores and share specific outputs with the company in case of decreasing score rates where the development and product team analyzes their updates or product engines to increase the rates.
    • It helps our strategic plans where to focus and invest for the following years and planning/prioritizing the security budgets to specific highlighted areas
