Minimize Your Blast Radius
Identify, visualize, and reduce the potential damage of any compromised identity before an attack happens.
The Concept
What is Blast Radius?
In identity security, blast radius is the total scope of resources a person, service account, or workload can reach through direct access, group membership, or role assumption.
A large blast radius means a single compromised credential can create a much bigger incident. Reducing it means containing the threat early.
Why It Matters
- Lateral movement prevention
- Ransomware containment
- Data exfiltration limits
- Least-privilege compliance
- NIS2 Art. 21(2)(i) access control for all identities
Case Study: The "Luca" Scenario
How a harmless intern account became a critical threat vector.
The Identity
Luca, a summer intern, joins the company. He needs access to Slack and Jira for his project.
The Group
To fix a permission issue quickly, an admin adds Luca to the "DevOps" group instead of creating a specific role.
The Impact
The DevOps group has inherited rights to production databases. Luca now has full write access to critical customer data.
How Cydenti Solves This
Cydenti's Identity Graph automatically maps this path. It sees that Luca (Intern) -> DevOps (Group) -> Prod DB (Resource) exists, but Luca never actually uses the database.
Case Study: The "Zombie" Service Account
Non-human identities are often the biggest silent risk.
Build-Bot-2024
Created 2 years ago for a migration project.
How Cydenti Rightsizes It
Service accounts do not complain when access is reduced. Cydenti analyzes actual API calls made by the bot over time and compares them to assigned permissions.
Drift Detection
Flags account as "Dormant Admin" due to lack of admin activity.
Least Privilege Policy Gen
Auto-generates a Terraform/IAM policy allowing only s3:PutObject on logs-bucket.
Automated Cleanup
Removes the "Editor" role binding entirely.
