Path analysis

Can these two resources talk to each other?

Firewall rule sets accumulate over years. In multi-tier environments with NSGs, firewalls, and route tables all in play, manually tracing whether a packet can get from A to B becomes a multi-hour task, prone to error and unavailable when you most need it. Skyreach Orion gives you a deterministic answer in seconds.

  • Evaluates applicable rules in platform-correct priority order
  • Works across Azure, AWS, GCP, and on-premises boundaries
  • Full rule attribution: not just allowed/blocked
  • Exportable for compliance and audit evidence

The problem organisations face

Nobody truly knows their entire rule set. Every environment change adds more rules, and over years the picture becomes too complex to hold in any one person's head.

Rule sets are hundreds of entries deep

In multi-tier environments with NSGs, firewalls, and route tables, manually tracing a path becomes a multi-hour task prone to human error.

Incident response is slowed by uncertainty

"Can this compromised host reach the database?" needs answering in seconds during an incident, not after hours of manual rule inspection.

Cross-cloud paths are invisible

Traffic crossing cloud boundaries involves rule sets owned by different teams on different platforms. Nobody has the full picture from a single console.

Compliance requires provable answers

Auditors want documented evidence that specific paths are blocked. "We think it's blocked" is not acceptable, and manually produced screenshots aren't reliable.

What you get

  • Deterministic routing answers

    A precise evaluation of the actual rules in your environment, the same answer your data plane would give, not a probabilistic estimate.

  • Rule priority visualisation

    Every candidate rule considered, in order, with links to the matching rule in your cloud console.

  • Cross-cloud path tracing

    Paths that cross Azure, AWS, GCP, and on-prem boundaries are evaluated end-to-end, incorporating each provider's firewall model.

  • Audit-ready exports

    Export path analysis results with full rule attribution for compliance evidence, change management, or incident response records.
