Axiom Refract for Security Engineers
Understand attack surface from the architecture level, not just the vulnerability level
The Challenge
Your security tools find CVEs in packages, injection flaws in code, and misconfigurations in infrastructure. What they do not find is architectural risk — the structural patterns that make a codebase fragile regardless of individual vulnerabilities.
A single point of failure in your authentication service is not a CVE. It is an architectural pattern that means one file's failure takes down access control for the entire system. That risk does not appear in any vulnerability scanner. It appears in the dependency graph.
You need visibility into structural security risk — the architectural patterns that amplify the impact of any individual vulnerability.
How Axiom Refract Helps
Structural Attack Surface Mapping
Identify which files are high-centrality targets — files where a compromise would cascade through the most dependents. Prioritize hardening efforts by structural impact.
Blast Radius for Security Incidents
When a vulnerability is found in a specific file, instantly calculate what else is affected. Scope incident response by structural dependency, not guesswork.
Supply Chain Governance
Audit external dependencies with license risk assessment, staleness detection, and structural integration depth — know which packages are deeply embedded versus easily replaceable.
What You Get
- Centrality-ranked file inventory — highest-impact targets for security hardening
- Blast radius reports for any compromised file or component
- Supply chain audit with license risk, staleness, and integration depth
- SPOF manifest — single points of failure that represent architectural security risks
- Compliance mapping to NIST SSDF, SOC 2, and other security-relevant frameworks
Imagine a new CVE is disclosed in a logging library your application uses. You query Axiom: which files import this library, how central are those files, and what is the blast radius if the library is compromised? Within seconds, you have a structural impact assessment that guides your patching priority — not by CVSS score alone, but by architectural exposure.
