Atlas™

Continuous Exposure & Trust Management

Atlas is the foundation of the Nexus platform. Before you can defend your enterprise, you need to understand it completely — every identity, asset, relationship, cloud resource, AI agent, and the attack paths that connect them. Atlas builds and continuously maintains that understanding.

How Atlas Works

From Raw Enterprise Data to Operational Risk Intelligence

Atlas doesn’t run a scan and produce a report. It continuously ingests, models, and reasons about your enterprise environment in real time.

01

Continuous Data Ingestion

Atlas ingests telemetry from identity providers (Entra ID, Okta, Ping), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS applications, endpoints, network infrastructure, and AI agent frameworks — normalizing everything into a unified data model that updates in real time as your environment changes.

02

Security Graph Construction

Every entity and relationship is mapped into the Nexus Security Graph — a living, continuously updated model that represents identities, assets, permissions, trust relationships, and dependencies. When a new service account is created at 2am, Atlas knows about it within minutes.

03

Attack Path Computation

Atlas continuously runs graph traversal algorithms to identify every path an attacker could take through your environment — from initial access to high-value targets. This isn’t a monthly report. It’s a continuously updated map of your actual attack surface.

04

Exposure Prioritization

Not all exposures are equal. Atlas scores each one using reachability, identity exposure, business impact, exploitability, and trust relationship context — surfacing the findings that actually matter and suppressing the noise that doesn’t.

05

Continuous Feed to Overwatch AI & Vanguard

Everything Atlas learns continuously feeds Overwatch AI’s investigations and Vanguard’s response decisions. Atlas is the operational context that makes the rest of the Nexus platform intelligent.

Deep Capabilities

What Atlas Does in Detail

Identity Graph Modeling

Maps every human identity, machine identity, service account, federated identity, and managed identity — including their permissions, group memberships, and session history.

Multi-Cloud Asset Discovery

Discovers and continuously inventories cloud resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments — including compute, storage, networking, IAM roles, and serverless functions.

Lateral Movement Modeling

Identifies every potential lateral movement path through your environment by modeling how privileges, trust relationships, and credential reuse could be chained by an attacker.

Trust Relationship Validation

Continuously validates that every trust relationship in your enterprise is appropriate — flagging excessive OAuth grants, over-permissioned service accounts, and shadow admin paths.

SaaS Exposure Analysis

Analyzes SaaS application permissions, OAuth token grants, connected integrations, and third-party access to identify exposure that traditional tools miss entirely.

AI Agent Attack Surface

Discovers AI agents, MCP servers, LLM applications, and autonomous workflow tools — modeling the permissions they hold and the attack paths they introduce into your environment.

Use Cases

How Enterprises Use Atlas

Financial Services

Privilege Sprawl Elimination Before Audit

A global bank used Atlas to map 400,000+ identity-to-resource relationships across their Azure and AWS environments, identifying 12,000 excessive permissions that had accumulated over three years of organic growth.

Outcome: 94% reduction in high-risk privilege exposure within 60 days, with continuous monitoring preventing re-accumulation.
Healthcare

Shadow IT & SaaS Exposure Discovery

A regional health system discovered 340 previously unknown SaaS applications with access to patient data systems through Atlas’s continuous SaaS exposure analysis — including several with admin-level OAuth grants.

Outcome: All unauthorized SaaS connections revoked within 48 hours, with ongoing discovery preventing future shadow IT accumulation.
Critical Infrastructure

OT/IT Boundary Attack Path Analysis

An energy company used Atlas to model attack paths from their corporate IT environment into OT systems, discovering three previously unknown pathways through shared service accounts and a legacy VPN trust relationship.

Outcome: All three pathways eliminated before they could be exploited, with Atlas providing continuous monitoring of the IT/OT boundary.
Global SaaS

AI Agent Governance & Exposure Mapping

A SaaS platform deploying 50+ internal AI agents used Atlas to inventory every agent, map their tool access and data permissions, and identify three agents with excessive access to production customer data.

Outcome: Agent permissions right-sized within one week, with continuous Atlas monitoring detecting any future permission drift.
Part of Nexus

Atlas Powers Every Other Product

The Security Graph Atlas builds continuously feeds Overwatch AI’s investigations, Vanguard’s response decisions, TrustAnchor’s governance model, and AgentShield’s agent risk scoring.

See Your Enterprise the Way Attackers Do

Atlas gives your security team a continuously updated map of every risk, trust relationship, and attack path — before attackers exploit them.
