See the breach path before an attacker does
KloudLytics maps the real path across your AWS account — from an internet-exposed resource, through your network and IAM, to a database or admin role. Every hop is a verified fact from your live configuration, not a hypothetical.
A breach is a chain, not a checkbox
Individual findings look medium. Connected, they’re how a real compromise happens. We trace the whole chain.
Internet exposure
Public S3, open security groups, exposed load balancers, endpoints, and instances — the ways in.
Network reachability
Route tables, peering, NAT, and security-group paths that actually connect the exposed edge to what's behind it.
IAM & privilege
Roles, trust policies, and permissions an attacker could assume or escalate once inside.
Impact
The database, admin role, or sensitive resource at the end of the path — where a breach actually lands.
Prioritize the exposure that actually unlocks something
Every hop is a fact, not a guess
Each step in a path is derived from your live AWS configuration — a real route, a real trust policy, a real exposed port. No hypothetical scenarios, no generic scare-graphs.
Ranked by exploitability & blast radius
Paths are prioritized by how reachable the entry point is and how much sits at the end — so you fix the one exposure that unlocks a database before the one that leads nowhere.
Context, not just red dots
A finding on a resource nothing can reach is de-prioritized; a compensating control (like a WAF in front) is noted. You spend attention on what's genuinely exploitable.
AI triage of the path
Each attack path gets an AI-written explanation of the chain and where to break it — turning a graph into a decision you can act on.
One agentless scan, the whole picture
Attack-surface mapping isn’t a separate product — it’s built from the same read-only scan that produces your posture score and findings. Connect a cross-account IAM role with a unique external ID, and KloudLytics assembles the graph from your live configuration. Nothing is installed, and no write permissions are ever requested.
Attack surface mapping — questions
What is attack surface mapping?+
It's the analysis of how an external attacker could move through your AWS account — starting from an internet-exposed resource and following real network and IAM connections to reach something valuable. Instead of a flat list of findings, you see the paths that actually chain into a breach.
How is this different from a normal findings list?+
A findings list tells you a bucket is public or a role is over-privileged in isolation. Attack-surface mapping connects them: it shows that the public bucket sits in front of a subnet that can reach a role that can read your database. The chain is what makes a set of medium findings a critical risk.
Are the paths real or hypothetical?+
Real. Every hop is derived from your live configuration — an actual route table entry, security-group rule, or IAM trust relationship — collected read-only via the AWS API. We don't invent attacker behavior; we surface the connections that already exist.
Does it reduce false alarms?+
Yes. Findings are put in context: an issue on a resource that nothing can reach is de-prioritized, and compensating controls are taken into account. That contextual risk scoring means the top of your list is the part that's genuinely exploitable.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Attack-surface mapping runs on the same agentless, read-only scan as the rest of KloudLytics — a cross-account IAM role with a unique external ID. Nothing is deployed in your environment.
