Abstract:
A system and method for agentless detection of sensitive data in a cloud computing environment is disclosed. The method includes: generating an inspectable disk from a clone of an original disk in a cloud computing environment; inspecting the inspectable disk for a cybersecurity object, the cybersecurity object indicating a sensitive data, the disk deployed in a cloud computing environment; extracting a data schema from the cybersecurity object, in response to detecting the cybersecurity object on the disk; generating a classification of the data schema; detecting in the disk a plurality of data files, each data file including the classified data schema; determining that the data schema corresponds to sensitive data based on the generated classification; generating in a security database: a representation of the data schema, and a representation of each data file; and rendering a visual representation of the cloud computing environment including a representation of the data schema.
