Overview
This article explains how to use route highlighting in Hyver’s mitigation graph. Highlighting helps you quickly spot the most dangerous or likely attack paths — making it easier to prioritize actions that will deliver real impact.
You’ll learn about two built-in highlights: Critical to Block and Most Probable Route.
Route Highlight Options
Critical to Block
Default: Enabled
Highlights in turquoise
Displays the attack paths that include the most critical findings — those that, if mitigated, would significantly reduce your exposure.
It’s recommended to keep this on so you can focus on high-impact vulnerabilities.
These routes help you identify areas where a fix will cut off multiple attack paths or dramatically lower risk.
Most Probable Route
Default: Enabled
Highlights in dark blue
Shows the single route with the highest likelihood of being exploited.
This is the most accessible and efficient route for an attacker — based on factors like finding complexity, popularity, and required effort.
Use this to spot a "quick win" — a small mitigation effort that can block a highly probable breach.
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Highlighting routes makes the mitigation graph more than just a visualization — it becomes a decision-making tool. Use these views to direct your attention to what’s most urgent or impactful.
Next, consider using these highlights when planning a new mitigation strategy or building out your remediation roadmap.
