Imagine trying to put together a puzzle without knowing what the final picture looks like. You have all the pieces in front of you, but you’re just guessing and rearranging them over and over again. Now, picture someone giving you the complete picture. Everything falls into place, and you can see how each piece fits together. This is the benefit of Microsoft Security Exposure Management’s attack path management. It helps defenders see vulnerabilities, assets, and risks as a cohesive map instead of scattered pieces.
Attack paths are the routes that attackers take by exploiting connections between different assets within an organization. Microsoft Security Exposure Management helps defenders understand these attack paths and prioritize critical assets for protection. By analyzing attack paths, defenders can reduce their organization’s exposure and increase resilience against cyber threats.
Attackers focus on reaching critical assets, rather than individual vulnerabilities. Defenders can benefit from adopting a similar perspective and seeing security gaps as part of a potential attack path. By understanding how vulnerabilities connect and could lead to larger security breaches, defenders can prioritize their efforts and mitigate risks effectively.
Microsoft Security Exposure Management provides tools for defenders to explore attack paths, assess risk, and identify chokepoints – assets that are involved in multiple attack paths. By focusing on chokepoints, security teams can target key
