TÜV Hessen & Picus Security Agreed to Provide Cybersecurity Efficiency Assessment Services

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Picus Security, the leading Continuous Security Validation vendor, and Germany’s leading Technical Inspection and Certification Association TUV Hessen reached an agreement to provide cybersecurity efficiency assessment services to companies in Germany and Austria.

One widespread problem in the cybersecurity arena is, even though companies significantly invest in security control technologies, there is no practical way of measuring and knowing the protection level gained in return. To tackle this problem, TUV Hessen will provide companies with a detailed insight into their cybersecurity readiness and guidance on the quickest route to build resilient cybersecurity control infrastructures by using the innovative Picus Platform.

The strategic alliance with TÜV Hessen is a milestone for Picus Security and at the same time an incentive to transform companies safely into digitization. We are very proud of our partnership with one of the most traditional companies in Germany and will do everything to the best of our knowledge and conscience to support TÜV Hessen to realize its mission.
