CYBERMINDR USE CASE
An Attack Path Discovery Platform empowers
CISO's with risk management, operational
efficiency, and alignment with business goals.
End-to-End Visibility
Maps all potential attack paths and
highlights vulnerabilities,
misconfigurations, and third-party
risks across the organization.
Contextualized Threats
Offers a unified view of risks,
connecting technical vulnerabilities
to business-critical assets and
operations.
The platforms assigns quantified risk scores to vulnerabilities, attack paths, and assets, helping the CISO
prioritize
threats and make informed decisions.
How Risk Scoring Enhances Security
Threat Prioritization
Scores risks based on severity,
exploitability,a nd business impact,
enabling focus on the most critical
threats.
Dynamic Updates
Continuously adjusts risk scores in
real-time as vulnerabilities are
mitigated, new threats emerges, or
the environment changes.
Business-Centric Insights
translates technical risks into
business terms, such as potential
financial, reputational, or
operational impact.
Examples
A server running outdated software might receive a 9/10 risk score due to
High likelihood of exploitation
(active CVEs).
Its critical role in supporting
customer-facing operations.
The platform Evaluates risks introduced by third-party software, ensuring
visibility into vulnerabilities across
dependencies.
How it supports Third-Party Risk Management
Dependency Risk Mapping
Scores risks based on severity,
exploitability,a nd business impact,
enabling focus on the most critical
threats.
Third-Party Risk Scoring
Continuously adjusts risk scores in
real-time as vulnerabilities are
mitigated, new threats emerges, or
the environment changes.
Supply Chain Security
Monitors software bill of materials
(SBOM) to track risks introduced by
third-party dependencies and
vendors.
Examples
A SaaS Vendor with a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) in their product could expose customer data. The
platform highlights this risk and suggests immediate isolatioon or mitigation.
The Platform brings visibility to risks and progress across the organization, enabling better decision-making at
multiple levels.
How it supports Third-Party Risk Management
By Organization
Comprehensive
dashboards provide a
high-level view of security
posture across all
systems and functions.
By Business Unit or
Sub-Domain
Breaks down risks and
attack paths by business
units, enabling targeted
actions where necessary.
By Function
Monitors software bill of
materials (SBOM) to track
risks introduced by third-
party dependencies and
vendors
By Supply Chain Category
Analyzes risks by SaaS
vendors, non-SaaS
vendors, partners, & other
supply chain entities,
highlighting their impact
on the organization.
Goal Setting and progress

to sensitive customer data
caused by a misconfigured
server and an insecure third-
party library.
Assigns a risk score of 9.5/10
and recommends immediate
patching and runtime
protection.
Supply Chain Security
Identifies a popular SaaS vendor
with an unpatched vulnerability
that exposes backend systems.
Suggests mitigatiion strategies to
isolate the risk while awaiting
vendor updates.
Optimizing Cyber Insurance
