See identity risk the way adversaries do
You’ve deployed identity tools. You’ve adopted least privilege. You’ve patched, segmented, and monitored. But attackers are still getting in — and even worse, they’re moving through. Why? Attackers don’t go through your tools. They go around them.
Why Identity Attack Path Management
Identity risk manifests as attack paths
Adversaries rely on relationships between identities, systems, and permissions. They chain together misconfigurations, overlooked privileges, and system relationships to get in.
Identity Attack Path Management helps you see these chains like attackers do, so you can:
Discover how attackers exploit identity relationships to access your crown jewels.
Visualize and prioritize risk based on attacker movement, not static policy.
Align Security, Identity, and IT around shared visibility and accountability.
Focus remediation efforts on the identity paths that pose the greatest business risk.
