  • Patent number: 11489863
    Abstract: A system for inspecting data, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: establish a trusted relationship between a source account in a cloud environment and a scanner account; using the established trust relationship, utilize at least one cloud provider API to identify workloads in the source account; use the at least one cloud provider API to query a geographical location of at least one of the identified workloads; receive an identification of the geographic location; use the cloud provider APIs to access block storage volumes of the at least one workload; determine a file-system of the at least one workload; mount the block storage volumes on a scanner based on the determined file-system; activate a scanner at the geographic location; reconstruct from the block storage volumes a state of the workload; and assess the reconstructed state of the workload to extract insights.

  • Publication number: 20220345483
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing internet exposure of a cloud-based workload are disclosed. A method comprises accessing at least one cloud provider API to determine a plurality of entities capable of routing traffic in a virtual cloud environment associated with a target account containing the workload, querying the at least one cloud provider API to determine at least one networking configuration of the entities, building a graph connecting the plurality of entities based on the networking configuration, accessing a data structure identifying services publicly accessible via the Internet and capable of serving as an internet proxy; integrating the identified services into the graph; traversing the graph to identify at least one source originating via the Internet and reaching the workload, and outputting a risk notification associated with the workload. Systems and computer-readable media implementing the above method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11431735
    Abstract: A system and method for securing virtual cloud assets in a cloud computing environment against cyber threats. The method includes: determining a location of a snapshot of at least one virtual disk of a protected virtual cloud asset, wherein the virtual cloud asset is instantiated in the cloud computing environment; accessing the snapshot of the virtual disk based on the determined location; analyzing the snapshot of the protected virtual cloud asset to detect potential cyber threats risking the protected virtual cloud asset; and alerting detected potential cyber threats based on a determined priority.

  • Publication number: 20210377287
    Abstract: A method and system for securing virtual cloud assets at rest against cyber threats. The method comprises determining a location of a view of at least one virtual disk of a protected virtual cloud asset, wherein the virtual cloud asset is at rest and, when activated, instantiated in the cloud computing environment; accessing the view of the virtual disk based on the determined location; analyzing the view of the protected virtual cloud asset to detect potential cyber threats risking the protected virtual cloud asset, wherein the virtual cloud asset is inactive during the analysis; and alerting detected potential cyber threats based on a determined priority.
