An attack path is the chained sequence of steps an adversary follows from initial access to a target asset to prioritize remediation.
Attack Path Definition: An attack path is the chained sequence of steps an adversary follows from initial access to a target asset to prioritize remediation.
An attack path is the chained sequence of steps, vulnerabilities, and exploitable relationships an adversary traverses from an initial foothold to a high-value target asset. Attack path analysis maps these routes, often as a graph, to reveal choke points where a single fix can break multiple paths. This lets defenders prioritize remediation by real exploitability rather than isolated vulnerability scores.
Attack Path is one of the topics you'll master in the Security+ Boot Camp.
