Continuous Security
A capability being introduced to Sentry CTEM that correlates findings into evidence-backed attacker chains — and shows which single fix removes the most risk.
Attack path analysis correlates the findings from across your exposure programme into ordered chains showing how an attacker could move from an internet-facing entry point, through intermediate hops, to the assets that matter most to your business. Rather than a list of individual vulnerabilities ranked in isolation, you see the routes an attacker would actually take — with every hop in the chain backed by evidence.
This capability is currently in development and is being introduced to Sentry CTEM subscriptions as it becomes available. It builds directly on the discovery, scanning, and monitoring data the platform already collects, so subscribers will not need new tooling or a separate onboarding to benefit from it.
Traditional severity scores treat every finding independently, which is not how attacks work. A medium-severity misconfiguration that connects an exposed service to a crown-jewel system can matter far more than an isolated critical. By assembling findings into complete paths, attack path analysis distinguishes two kinds of fix: closing an entry point, and cutting a choke point — the single remediation that severs the most paths at once. That is where your effort buys the most risk reduction.
The output is an attack path diagram alongside prioritised remediation guidance, and paths are tracked run over run — new, persisting, resolved, and changed — so you can demonstrate that the routes into your estate are genuinely being closed down over time. For security leaders, that turns remediation reporting from a count of tickets closed into something a board can understand: the number of viable attack paths into the business, and the direction it is moving.
If you are considering Sentry CTEM, or already subscribe and want to be among the first to use attack path analysis, speak to us and we will keep you informed as the capability is rolled out.
Choke-point analysis identifies the single remediation that severs the most attack paths at once.
Each step in a chain is backed by findings from discovery, scanning, and monitoring — no speculative paths.
See routes from internet-facing entry points to crown-jewel assets, not isolated findings.
Paths are tracked run over run as new, persisting, resolved, or changed.
Being introduced within Sentry CTEM subscriptions, built on data the platform already collects.
Findings from attack surface discovery, vulnerability scanning, and monitoring will be correlated across your estate within Sentry.
Related findings will be assembled into ordered attacker chains from internet-facing entry points to your most important assets, every hop evidence-backed.
Remediation guidance will distinguish entry-point closures from choke-point cuts — highlighting the single fix that removes the most risk.
Each run will compare paths against the last: new, persisting, resolved, and changed, so progress is visible and reportable.
Straight answers to what prospective clients ask us most.
Attack path analysis correlates findings from across the service into chains showing how an attacker could move from an internet-facing entry point to the assets that matter most to your business, with each step backed by evidence. It produces an attack path diagram and prioritised remediation guidance — including which single fix removes the most risk. This capability is in development and will be introduced to Sentry CTEM subscriptions as it becomes available.
It is in active development and will be introduced to Sentry CTEM subscriptions as it becomes available. We deliberately do not publish a fixed date — speak to us and we will keep you informed as rollout approaches.
A penetration test is an expert manually exploiting weaknesses to prove real-world impact at a point in time. Attack path analysis is automated correlation of continuously collected findings into likely attacker routes. It will not replace expert-led testing — but it will show, between tests, which combinations of exposures deserve attention first, and it makes an excellent input to pentest scoping.
Attack path analysis is being introduced to Sentry CTEM subscriptions. Its value depends on the breadth of data available to correlate, so it works best alongside the attack surface management and continuous vulnerability management modules.
