Escalation Risk
Eliminate Privilege Escalation
Before Attackers simulate It
One compromised credential. Admin access. Production takeover.
StackGuard maps every escalation chain before it becomes an attack path.
When This Happens
A service account accumulates permissions over time.
An old IAM role remains attached.
A shadow admin exists in Active Directory.
Everything passes compliance checks.
The Real Risk
One compromised credential becomes:
Admin escalation
Cross-account pivoting
Production takeover
This misconfiguration then becomes an attack path, which then becomes a data breach.
Traditional CSPM shows policy violations.
It does not show: “What can an attacker actually do?”
Our Insight
More than Security posture is essentially about defense capability.
How StackGuard Resolves It
Maps IAM & directory escalation chains.
Identifies admin-equivalent identities.
Ranks by exploitability, not policy severity.
Executes safe right-sizing and remediation.
StackGuard maps how non-human identities can move, escalate, and persist then eliminates those paths. It reveals what an attacker can actually do (before they do it.)
Enterprise Outcome
Exploit-ready escalation paths removed.
Internal attack surface reduced
Engineering velocity preserved
CTO
Prevent cloud-impacting incidents.
CISO
Remove exploit-ready escalation chains.
DEVOPS
Right-size IAM accesses safely.
APPSEC
Prioritize real blast radius.
