Explorer module

The Explorer is the escape hatch for advanced users. When the rule library does not cover a question you have, the Explorer lets you ask the graph directly.

What it gives you

A library of pre-defined investigations grouped by intent:

  • Exposure: show me all public-facing resources, what can the Internet reach in a given region.
  • Privilege: all identities with admin, all roles with broad access.
  • Data leak chains: any path from the Internet to a database with sensitive data.
  • Drift: resources that exist in the cloud but not in your IaC repo.
  • Inventory: all VMs by region, biggest databases, dormant resources.

Pick a template, set a few parameters, run.

GraphPath investigations, attack-chain stories
TableBulk listing with sorting and CSV export

Saved investigations

Save a run for re-use. Saved investigations show in the templates list for everyone in the project, and carry their parameters (severity, region, cluster, ...).

Tips

  • Start from a template, then refine. Most ad-hoc questions are close to one of the built-ins.
  • Use the table view first to confirm the results match your expectation, then switch to the graph view for visual context.
