Abstract
An illustrative method includes identifying, based on a scan of a compute environment associated with an entity, a plurality of attack paths from one or more networks to one or more datasets associated with the entity, determining individual risk scores for each attack path indicating a level that each attack path could be exploited to access the one or more datasets, and determining, based on the individual risk scores, an absolute risk score for the entity indicating a status of a security posture for the entity. A risk mitigation operation associated with the entity is performed based on the absolute risk score.
