XM Cyber Attack Path Management

An attack path is the chain of exposures, permissions, identities, and connections that could let an attacker move from an entry point to a sensitive asset. XM Cyber maps those relationships so a team can fix a path to a critical system rather than chase isolated findings.

It looks for combinations such as an exploitable weakness, excessive identity privilege, and a route to a high-value asset, then ranks the path by risk. The practical goal is to fix a choke point that breaks several attack paths, not simply the vulnerability with the highest score.

No, XM Cyber's Attack Path Management focuses on exposure mapping and remediation priorities, not on blocking every connection or replacing endpoint investigation. Illumio Core can enforce segmentation, while Carbon Black Cloud can investigate endpoint behavior; XM Cyber helps show where those controls matter most.

Attack-path analysis can draw on identity systems such as Active Directory, cloud permissions, vulnerability findings, and configuration data. The useful result depends on the connectors enabled, so the buyer should verify that its actual cloud accounts and security tools are supported.
