The present disclosure relates to techniques for automated and adaptive cloud security management. Embodiments provide for, at an electronic device configured to interface with a cloud computing environment, initiating one or more transactions in the cloud computing environment using a first identifier to cause a first service of the cloud computing environment to generate a first set of data including the first identifier and a second identifier, and a second service of the cloud computing environment to generate a second set of data including a third identifier and a fourth identifier. Embodiments also provide for automatically determining whether the first identifier corresponds to the third identifier, and, in accordance with a determination that the first identifier corresponds to the third identifier, associating the second identifier and the fourth identifier to generate a linkage between the first and second services.
