L2 AWS API Validation
Live AWS API call per hop — cryptographic evidence per finding. Not theory. Proof.
Your scanner returns four thousand findings. Three of them reach your production database. xsee proves exactly those three — then signs each path off the moment it's closed.
Works with your stack
Cloud, identity, and observability platforms — generating signed Receipts across your existing workflow.
Integrations include Google Cloud, GitHub, Okta, Datadog, Splunk, Cloudflare, Kubernetes, Terraform, Snowflake, Jira, GitLab, PagerDuty, Grafana, Elastic, Docker, Jenkins, Prometheus, Sentry.
The core problem
Posture tools rank findings by CVSS scores that don't know your environment. Attack-path tools draw theoretical graphs. CSPMs generate thousands of alerts that age and never get verified.
Your security team spends weeks triaging findings — and the attacker doesn't care about your CVSS scores. They follow the graph. Proof requires more than detection. It requires a live AWS API call per hop, simulated end-to-end, verified after the fix, and signed.
XSEE is built around one premise: proof, or it doesn't count.
How it works
Read-only IAM role. No agents, no friction. Live in about two minutes.
We inventory every asset, identity, and network path across your cloud.
Real attack paths run on your actual graph — not generic CVE lists.
Score the handful of paths that truly reach your crown jewels.
A signed Breach Prevention Certificate the moment each path is closed.
How XSEE works · autonomous proof loop
Every path XSEE finds is validated against the live AWS API, simulated end-to-end, and signed before it reaches your queue. Watch the loop close — in real time, every time.
Live on your account · 30 minutes
Connect a read-only IAM role. XSEE builds the attack graph, validates each hop against the live AWS API, and writes a signed Receipt for every path that reaches production data.

The new threat
XSEE simulates AI attacker behavior — so you can measure your defenses against the threat that's actually coming. Not the one your SIEM was built for.
An AI attacker runs 10,000 attack variations in the time a human runs 10. Your team cannot keep up manually.
AI attackers learn from every blocked attempt and instantly try a different path. Static defenses fail by design.
Your SIEM, GuardDuty, and XDR were built to detect human attack patterns. AI attackers move differently — and quietly.
In 2026, machine identities outnumber humans. 92% of organizations cannot track them. XSEE maps and validates every NHI.
Detection Coverage Score
XSEE measures exactly how much of each attack chain your current tools can see. The average team is blind to 66% of what happens on their most critical paths. Now you have the number. Now you can fix it.

From discovery to verified closure — automatically. Every other platform stops at engine 1 or 2. XSEE runs all seven.
Live AWS API call per hop — cryptographic evidence per finding. Not theory. Proof.
Replays confirmed paths against your live graph. Human + AI attacker models. Detection Coverage Score.
Before/after cryptographic proof. Issued when L2 confirms a path is closed. Board-ready, SOC 2-ready.
Investigation, Board Report, Threat Hunt, Remediation. The AI security analyst that never sleeps.
One fix that eliminates the most paths simultaneously. Terraform, CloudFormation, CLI — your choice.
Optional Lambda agent. Sub-60s detection. UEBA behavioral analysis. Auditable code.
Auto-matches new CVEs to your assets every night at 02:00 UTC. Emails CISO when KEV-listed CVEs hit critical paths.
Zero-trust access model
Most cloud security vendors need write access to your AWS account to fix anything. If any of them is compromised, an attacker inherits the keys to your cloud. XSEE is different by design — we never hold write access, ever.
The only access XSEE ever holds
AWS ReadOnlyAccess managed policy. Discovers assets, validates attack paths, reads IAM policies and security-group rules, runs the attack simulation. Cannot write, delete, or modify anything in your account. There is no second XSEE role.
XSEE's IAM permissions
Runs in your AWS account — not XSEE's
When you approve a fix, XSEE generates the change as code and drops it on a queue in your account. A Lambda you deploy and own applies it. The IAM policy is yours, scoped by you. XSEE never has credentials to this Lambda and never executes the fix itself.

The autonomous loop
Read-only IAM role. XSEE enumerates resources and builds the attack graph in 18 minutes for a typical AWS estate.
ec2:i-0a3f2c8d prod-eu-west-1 rds:prod-postgres-01 prod-eu-west-1 …1,247 resources
Every hop is verified with a live AWS API call. Each call is timestamped, signed, and retained for audit.
The end-to-end attack is replayed against an isolated copy of your environment. A path only counts if it actually reproduces.
Paths are ranked by data-at-risk and exploit confidence — not by CVSS. The three paths that reach prod data surface first.
For each path, XSEE generates the exact fix as code — Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CLI. Diff is reviewable, not generated prose.
+ cidr_blocks = ["10.0.0.0/8"] - cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
A single human decision per fix lands in the Approval Queue. Everything else is automated.
Your Lambda — running under IAM policies you control — applies the fix. XSEE never holds write keys.
Duration: 84 ms applied: sg-bastion · ingress :5432
The simulation is re-run. If the attack still works, the fix auto-rolls back. Closure is not assumed — it is reproved.
A signed Breach Prevention Certificate is issued. Cryptographically linked to the original evidence. Board-ready.
One human decision at stage 5. XSEE handles detection, proof, proposal, verification, and certification. Your Lambda handles execution — XSEE never holds write keys.

The artifact
When the path is closed and verified, XSEE issues a Breach Prevention Certificate. Re-validation runs the original attack against the new configuration. If the attack now fails, the path is provably closed. Signed. Timestamped.
The first artifact in cloud security that proves a problem is actually fixed — not just patched.
