Cloud scanners find issues.Spakto proves which onesattackers can actually exploit.
Spakto continuously validates real attack paths across your cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters, container workloads, IAM roles, and network policies — proving which misconfigurations lead to compromise, not just which ones exist.
CSPM shows misconfigs.
Spakto shows exploit paths.
A misconfigured S3 bucket alone is not a breach. It only becomes one when it chains into an IAM role, a metadata endpoint, and a cross-account pivot. Spakto validates the complete chain — safely, continuously, automatically.
Every cloud attack vector.
Continuously validated.
Cross-account AssumeRole chaining, over-permissioned execution roles, and federated identity exploitation.
Finding misconfigs is not
the same as proving exploitability.
CSPM tools report configuration deviations. Spakto validates whether those deviations can actually be chained by an attacker to reach a high-value target.
From cloud config to
validated attack path.

Every cloud. Every
runtime environment.
Spakto validates attack paths across all three major cloud providers — with native support for Kubernetes, serverless, IAM, secrets, and network configurations on each.
Built for teams who
own cloud security outcomes.
Whether you're validating exploit paths, shipping infrastructure, or reporting risk to the board — Spakto gives each team exactly what they need.
Every K8s misconfiguration
traced to cluster takeover.
Spakto maps how misconfigurations in pod specs, RBAC bindings, and service account permissions chain into node escape, API server compromise, and full cluster control — with the specific syscalls and API verbs at every hop.
From a single compute role
to full account takeover.
AssumeRole chains, managed identity abuse, and permission boundary bypass — the engine traces every multi-hop IAM path to administrator, with the exact API calls and policy documents that enable each step.

Six layers of container risk.
Each scored. Each actionable.
Runtime validation surfaces posture across pod security, RBAC, network policy, image hygiene, secrets management, and runtime monitoring — with specific findings and fix guidance per dimension.

Kernel-level visibility
across every container, live.
Runtime validation intercepts syscall events at the kernel level via eBPF — detecting container escapes, credential theft, shell spawns, and C2 connectivity the moment they happen, without agents inside the container.
Which pods can reach
what — proven, not assumed.
NetworkPolicy rules, Security Groups, and hostNetwork declarations are mapped into a live reachability graph. Click any source node, then any target to see whether that path is open or blocked, and which rule permits or denies it.
Every image layer.
Every CVE. Every exploit path.
Container security requires understanding which vulnerabilities exist at each image layer, and critically — which ones are actually exploitable given your container configuration. Spakto traces CVE exploit paths from base OS through to runtime entrypoint.

CLOUD RUNTIME VALIDATION FAQs
Frequently asked
questions.
answered
Read-only API access to your cloud accounts. Spakto uses read-only IAM roles — we never write, delete, or modify cloud resources. Permissions are scoped to the minimum required for attack path analysis.
Cloud penetration tests are point-in-time and manual. Spakto provides continuous, automated attack path validation that updates in real time as your cloud configuration changes.
Findings are ranked by real exploitability — not theoretical severity. A critical misconfiguration that has no viable attack path is ranked lower than a medium misconfiguration that chains into domain compromise.
No — it complements CSPM. CSPM is excellent for broad misconfiguration coverage. Spakto adds adversarial validation to prove which findings are actually exploitable. Together they provide comprehensive cloud security assurance.
No. Cloud Runtime Validation uses safe, read-based techniques to analyze configurations and compute exploit paths. We do not execute payloads, modify resources, or impact running workloads.
Yes. Spakto natively validates Kubernetes RBAC, service account permissions, pod security standards, network policies, and container runtime configurations across EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters.
Yes. Spakto continuously ingests cloud configuration changes. When new resources are deployed via Terraform, CDK, or manually, they're immediately analyzed for attack path exposure.
