Abstract
In one implementation, a device may generate variants of a cloud-native application modified to simulate vulnerabilities. The device may identify dormant attack paths in the variants susceptible to activation. The device may update an attack path knowledge base with the dormant attack paths. The device may prevent changes to the cloud-native application in a production environment that would activate the dormant attack paths identified in the variants.
