Picus Security has announced the State of BAS 2025 Summit, a two-day virtual event dedicated to exploring how breach and attack simulation (BAS) has evolved into a critical pillar of enterprise cybersecurity strategy. Taking place on October 14 and October 16, the summit will bring together top experts and practitioners to demonstrate how AI-powered BAS is reshaping the way organizations validate defenses, reduce operational fatigue, and effectively communicate risk at the executive and board level.
Volkan Ertürk, co-founder and CTO of Picus Security, set the tone by emphasizing how AI is redefining BAS. He noted that organizations often struggle with noise, patch overload, and prioritization fatigue, and BAS offers a structured way to cut through this complexity. By combining automation and intelligence, enterprises can continuously validate defenses, sharpen their vulnerability management practices, and align security programs more closely with business outcomes. Ertürk will be among the summit’s key speakers, joined by Chris Dale, principal instructor at SANS, Ron Eddings from Hacker Valley, and CISOs from Fortune 500 companies.
The program will cover a set of timely topics that touch every layer of modern defense. Attendees will learn how to harness AI with BAS to break the cycle of endless patching, pinpoint critical vulnerabilities, and operationalize BAS within hybrid and cloud environments. Beyond the technical dimension, sessions will also highlight how security teams can better present risk and progress to boards and regulators, ensuring that cyber resilience becomes a language that business leaders can act on.
Open to security leaders, SOC operators, and vulnerability managers, the State of BAS 2025 Summit is free to attend. Participants will also receive a complimentary copy of “10 Criteria for Choosing the Right BAS Solution,” a practical guide designed to help evaluate and select BAS platforms that meet enterprise needs. By combining visionary insights with practical strategies, the event positions itself as a must-attend for any organization looking to elevate its security validation approach and prepare for the next wave of AI-driven threats.
