Attack-path tools show how an attacker could get to your crown jewels. Simulation tools fire test attacks to see whether defenses react. AI security platforms score risk across your stack. Bonanza answers a different question from your own configuration: on every path, would your monitoring notice, and what is the smallest change that fixes it?

1. Do you see it?The verdict on each step of a path
A verdict on every hop: invisible, dark data, blind spot, too noisy or defended, with the reason.
Results per simulated technique: did the test raise an alert.
Risk signals with attack vector and blast radius, scored by severity and business context.
Focus is reachability and exposure, not whether your SOC would see the path.
Results per test attack or technique that was run.
2. What it takes to startInstall, access, risk
Read-only. Nothing installed in your estate, no attack code run.
Simulators on hosts, network and cloud, or runs from an assumed-compromised host.
Connects to your cloud, SaaS, identity and security tools.
Collectors or sensors connect to the environment.
Agents or simulators placed in the environment; tests run on live systems.
3. The mapWho can reach what
Every privilege hop to your crown jewels, read from the directory export you already have, each hop checked against your detections.
Lateral-movement paths from one assumed foothold.
A graph of resources, identities and relationships.
Strong maps of paths and choke points.
Typically starts from an assumed foothold and the scenarios in its library.
4. Test before you changeProve a fix on paper first
What-if: switch a rule or a log source on or off, apply a fix, cut a hop, and see every verdict change at once. Production is not touched.
Run the simulations again after the change is made.
Blast-radius view of the current state.
Remediation guidance on the map.
Validate after the change by running the tests again.
5. SpendLogs and rules you pay for
Shows dark data on the path: logs that already arrive but no rule reads, and rules waiting on a log you do not collect. Lists the fixes that close invisible paths.
Drafts new detections where a test finds a gap.
Focus on cutting analyst noise and query cost.
Not a focus.
Some check that logs arrive and alerts fire, test by test.
6. Can you explain it?To an auditor or a board
Deterministic engine. Every verdict traces back to a specific rule, log source or permission.
AI-assisted analysis; people approve new detections.
AI answers with the reasoning steps shown.
Graph-based; some AI features.
Increasingly AI-assisted analysis and agents.
Competitor descriptions are our reading of each vendor's public materials as of November 2026; products change. Bonanza is pre-launch and works with a small number of design partners. If we have described your product incorrectly, tell us and we will correct it.
