Core Architectural Principles

  • Control-plane Unification: Single pane of glass for policy management across AD, Entra ID, Okta, and AWS IAM
  • Deterministic Remediation: Automated, repeatable workflows with clear success criteria
  • Risk-indexed Modeling: Context-aware risk scoring based on identity attributes and behavior
  • Telemetry Convergence: Centralized logging and analytics for cross-platform visibility

Key Capabilities

The fabric architecture enables organizations to address modern identity challenges with precision and scale.

  1. Real-time threat detection and response
  2. Continuous compliance monitoring
  3. Automated policy enforcement
  4. AI-assisted validation of security controls
Quantified Exposure Modeling

Measuring Identity Risk

Exposure Scenarios

Detailed analysis of 3-4 critical exposure scenarios including blast radius modeling, privilege persistence math, and time-to-detect vs time-to-abuse delta.

Impact Modeling

90-day impact modeling for each exposure scenario, providing clear financial and operational risk estimates for decision-makers.

Audit Failure Case Narratives

SOX failure, privileged access drift, and access certification illusion case studies with root cause analysis and architectural failures.

Identity Attack Chain Diagrams

Visual representations of common attack paths across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including ASCII diagrams for documentation.

Hybrid AD → Entra ID Attack Chain


+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
|  Compromised   |     |  AD Credentials    |     |  Entra ID Access |
|  Endpoint      |-----|  Exfiltrated       |-----|  Obtained        |
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
          |                      |                      |
          v                      v                      v
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
|  Lateral       |     |  Privilege         |     |  Cloud Resource  |
|  Movement      |     |  Escalation        |     |  Access          |
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+

This diagram shows the progression of an attack from a compromised endpoint through Active Directory to Entra ID and cloud resources.

Okta → AWS IAM Attack Chain


+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
|  Phished       |     |  Okta Session      |     |  AWS IAM Role    |
|  User          |-----|  Hijacked          |-----|  Assumed         |
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
          |                      |                      |
          v                      v                      v
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+
|  MFA Bypass    |     |  Privilege         |     |  S3 Bucket       |
|  Attempted     |     |  Escalation        |     |  Exfiltration    |
+----------------+     +-------------------+     +------------------+

This diagram illustrates an attack path from a phished user through Okta to AWS IAM role assumption and S3 bucket exfiltration.
