Abstract
Systems and methods for predictive analysis of potential attack patterns based on contextual security information are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating an image for an enterprise that indicates one or more software application stacks of a virtual instance of a cloud provider from an application programming interface of the cloud provider and a network architecture for the one or more software application stacks without installing and utilizing security monitoring software on the cloud provider; determining one or more vulnerabilities of the one or more software application stacks and one or more vulnerabilities of the network architecture from the image; providing the one or more vulnerabilities of the one or more software application stacks, and the one or more vulnerabilities of the network architecture as input to a machine learning model; generating an inference by the machine learning model that indicates one or more attack paths for an attacker in the one or more software application stacks and the network architecture; and transmitting the inference to a storage location or a security software application.
