Cloud & Workload Exposure
Context across configuration, workload and identity
Modern cloud environments suffer from fragmented visibility across infrastructure-as-code, ephemeral containers, and IAM policies. KnightGuard unifies CSPM, CWPP, and CIEM telemetry into an actionable exposure graph, prioritizing toxic combinations that create exploitable attack paths to enterprise crown jewels.
Stages this advances
Highlighted stages are where this capability does the work.
Define the exposure surface that matters to the business.
Continuously inventory assets, identities and exposures.
Rank by exploitability and business impact, not CVSS alone.
Prove which exposures are actually exploitable.
Drive owners, SLAs and evidence to closure.
Scoping
Define the exposure surface that matters to the business.
Align crown-jewel systems, business services and third parties into scopes that executives recognise — not just IP ranges.
Discovery
Continuously inventory assets, identities and exposures.
Merge external attack surface, cloud, identity and vulnerability telemetry into one deduplicated exposure graph.
Prioritization
Rank by exploitability and business impact, not CVSS alone.
Threat intelligence, reachability and asset criticality collapse millions of findings into the few hundred that move risk.
Validation
Prove which exposures are actually exploitable.
Attack path analysis and safe simulation confirm whether a finding is reachable and whether controls stop it.
Structured Execution Workflow
End-to-end continuous exposure lifecycle mapping adversary actions into validated defensive posture.
01. Toxic-Combination Detection Across Config, Workload & Identity
Correlate cloud control plane misconfigurations, vulnerable workload images, and overly permissive IAM roles into a unified exposure graph to expose attack paths before adversaries reach critical data.
02. Multi-Cloud & Container Surface Discovery
Continuously audit AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes clusters in real time with agentless discovery, tracking infrastructure drift and ephemeral workloads across environments.
03. Runtime Reachability & Risk Prioritization
Suppress unexploitable noise by analyzing network reachability, internet exposure, and active threat context to isolate the handful of cloud exposures that are genuinely weaponized.
04. Automated Guardrail Evidence & Remediation
Generate guardrail evidence mapped directly to CIS, SOC2, and internal compliance standards, delivering actionable infrastructure-as-code fix playbooks to dev and cloud ops.
