Overview
This article introduces the Mitigation Planner in Hyver — a tool that helps you evaluate the cost, effort, and effectiveness of various mitigation strategies. It lets you simulate the impact of fixing specific findings and visualize how attack routes would be disrupted.
You can use the planner to highlight high-priority findings, compare options, and create targeted mitigation plans.
What the Mitigation Planner Does
When you click the Mitigation Planner button on the top toolbar of the mitigation graph, you gain access to a powerful set of planning and analysis tools.
Key Features
Mitigation Calculator
Displays:
Estimated cost and effort required to mitigate all findings currently shown in the graph.
Helps you assess the budget and resources needed for various mitigation strategies.
Search for Findings
Use the search bar to locate and highlight a specific finding by name.
The selected finding will be visually emphasized in the graph.
Highlight Options
Critical to Block
Blue dotted lines highlight findings that will disconnect the maximum number of attack routes.
This is the minimal set of fixes required to break paths to all business assets.
Disconnected routes appear grayed out.
Recommended: Leave this option enabled to prioritize high-impact actions.
Most Probable Route
Highlights the attack route with the highest likelihood of exploitation.
Appears as a dark blue dotted line.
Helps you identify a “quick win” — a likely path attackers would take.
Lowest Cost Level / Lowest Effort Level
Optional sliders to filter for findings that are cheapest or easiest to fix.
Highlights these with a black dotted line, helping you balance impact with feasibility.
Visual Indicator
A green dot on the Mitigation Planner button means one or more filters are currently active.
Wrap-up / Next Steps
The Mitigation Planner gives you real insight into where and how to act. You can explore different options, simulate changes, and build mitigation plans that are efficient and tailored to your organization’s needs.
