What is a breakpoint?
Glossary · AI agent and machine identity security
Short answer
A breakpoint is the single grant, key or connection whose removal cuts the most attack paths.
Why it matters
Fixing every finding is not realistic. Fixing the one grant that many paths share closes many routes with one change.
What it looks like
Five agents reach a database through the same shared service account. Removing that account's access to the database is the breakpoint.
In nerl0
Each issue carries a recommended breakpoint with severity, evidence and an owner. You apply the change, and the next scan verifies it. See Issues.
