Map how a real adversary could move through your environment – before an attacker finds the path first.
The Attack Path Designer is a free interactive tool that maps the route an attacker is most likely to take from the internet to your most critical systems – based on your industry, attack surface, identity controls, and existing defences. In under three minutes, it shows where an attacker would most likely start, how they’d move through your environment, how many steps stand between them and your crown jewels, and where your controls would slow them down – or wouldn’t.
It answers one question every security leader should be able to answer: if an attacker targeted us today, how far could they realistically get?

Business Impact Summary
⚠️ This is an informed hypothesis based on threat intelligence and common adversary tradecraft, not a validation of exploitable vulnerabilities. Only a human-led red team engagement can confirm whether this path is actually achievable.

Your attack path is a prediction. A real adversary won't follow predictions.
Validate this path through a human-led, intelligence-driven red team engagement. Our operators simulate real attackers, uncover the paths you didn't expect, and measure how far an adversary can actually get.

What Is an Attack Path?
An attack path is the sequence of steps an attacker takes to move from an initial point of entry to a target asset — for example, from a phished employee to a domain controller to your customer database. Real adversaries rarely exploit a single vulnerability; they chain small weaknesses together, moving stage by stage through initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and finally their objective.
Understanding your most likely attack path lets you focus defence where it matters: not on fixing every isolated issue, but on breaking the chain an attacker would actually use.
How the Attack Path Designer Works
The tool builds a realistic adversary scenario from a short set of guided questions:
Your industry and organisation size
Your cloud and on-premises footprint
What’s exposed to the internet (web apps, VPN, email, APIs, RDP)
Your identity and authentication posture (MFA coverage)
Your crown-jewel systems and data
The security controls you already have in place
The attacker objective to model (ransomware, data theft, cloud takeover, domain compromise)
From these inputs it constructs your likely attack path, mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and highlights the stages an attacker could move through freely versus the ones your controls would contest.
What Your Results Mean
Likely Entry Point: where an attacker is most likely to gain initial access
Attack Path: the stage-by-stage route from entry to your crown jewels
Attack Distance: how many steps stand between the internet and your critical assets
Potential Blast Radius: how far a successful compromise could spread
Detection Likelihood: whether your monitoring would realistically catch the intrusion
Controls that slow the attack and gaps that increase attacker success
Why Map Your Attack Path Before a Red Team
Most organisations secure each layer in isolation – better badges here, more monitoring there – without ever testing whether those layers connect into a single breach path. Mapping your likely attack path first helps you understand your exposure before you invest in a full engagement, and makes the eventual red team sharper and more focused.
Important: The path this tool generates is an informed hypothesis based on threat intelligence and common adversary tradecraft – not a validation of exploitable vulnerabilities. Only a human-led red team engagement can confirm whether the predicted path is actually achievable.

FAQ - Attack Path Designer
What is the Attack Path Designer?
A free interactive tool that maps the most likely route an attacker would take from the internet to your critical systems, based on your environment and existing defences.
Is the attack path a real assessment of my vulnerabilities?
No. It's an informed hypothesis based on threat intelligence and common adversary tradecraft — not a validation of exploitable vulnerabilities. Only a human-led red team engagement can confirm whether the path is achievable.
How long does it take?
Under three minutes. You answer a short set of guided questions and receive an instant, tailored attack path.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, with no obligation.
What is an attack path in cybersecurity?
The sequence of steps an attacker chains together to move from initial access to a target asset - for example, from a phishing email to privilege escalation to your customer database.
What should I do with my results?
Use them to understand your exposure and prioritise defence. To confirm which steps actually hold, validate the path with a red team engagement.
