Abstract
An illustrative method includes scanning a compute environment associated with an entity and identifying one or more attack paths from a network to one or more datasets associated with the entity. The one or more attack paths each include a series of risk artifacts within the compute environment that can be exploited by an attacker to access the one or more datasets. The method further includes generating one or more attack path risk scores associated with the one or more attack paths and indicative of one or more levels of risk that the one or more attack paths could be exploited to access the one or more datasets. A risk mitigation operation associated with the one or more attack paths is performed based on the one or more attack path risk scores.
