Modern attackers chain weaknesses across web applications, identities, and cloud environments rather than exploiting isolated vulnerabilities. Traditional siloed security testing — where app, identity, cloud, and infrastructure teams assess independently — fails to reflect how real attacks unfold. The shift is toward validating complete, exploitable attack paths and confirming that remediation actually disrupts those paths, not just patches individual CVEs. This aligns with frameworks like Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). Horizon3.ai's NodeZero WebApp is cited as an example of a platform that validates end-to-end attack paths spanning web apps, identities, infrastructure, and cloud.
