Your Controls Block Known Attacks. What About the Behavior?

Picus Security's Blue Report 2026 reveals that standard security controls effectively block known attack techniques but often fail to detect alternative methods that achieve the same objective. Behavioral testing is necessary to identify gaps between what controls prevent and what they miss when adversaries adapt their tactics.

Why it matters: Security teams relying on prevention metrics for known techniques may have false confidence in their defenses; practitioners should assess controls against behavioral variations to find exploitable gaps.
