Business-Context Criticality

Risk that reflects what matters to the business

Criticality inferred from exposure, data & blast radius

kinetic8 automatically infers each asset's business importance from identity exposure, data sensitivity, and blast radius — so risk reflects what actually matters to the business, not just technical severity.

Why it matters

Importance, inferred automatically

A deterministic scorer ranks every asset into mission-critical, business-critical, standard, and low-impact tiers using identity exposure, data sensitivity, dependencies, and compliance scope — no manual tagging.

Blast radius, not just severity

Criticality accounts for how far a compromise would spread — the identities that can reach an asset and the systems that depend on it — so a 'medium' CVE on a crown-jewel host outranks a 'critical' on a throwaway box.

Explainable and defensible

Every tier is fully explainable from the signals that produced it and can be refined via plain-English Q&A — with no per-asset LLM cost and no black box for auditors to distrust.

Capabilities

  • Automatic 4-tier business-importance model (mission-critical → low-impact)
  • Signals: identity exposure, data sensitivity, dependencies, compliance scope
  • Blast-radius awareness from relationship and identity graphs
  • Deterministic and explainable — no per-asset LLM cost
  • Plain-English refinement of importance via Intent Q&A
  • Criticality feeds risk scoring, prioritization, and attack-path ranking
