Abstract: A system and method reduces use of restricted operations in a cloud computing environment during cybersecurity threat inspection. The method includes: detecting an encrypted disk in a cloud computing environment, the encrypted disk encrypted utilizing a first key in a key management system (KMS); generating a second key in the KMS, the second key providing access for a principal of an inspection environment; generating a snapshot of the encrypted disk; generating a volume based on the snapshot, wherein the volume is re-encrypted with the second key; generating a snapshot of the re-encrypted volume; generating an inspectable disk from the snapshot of the re-encrypted volume; and initiating inspection for a cybersecurity object on the inspectable disk.

Abstract: A system and method for risk and constraint-based cybersecurity inspection of a computing environment is presented. The method includes querying an application programming interface (API) of a computing environment to detect a plurality of workloads deployed therein; determining a constraint for inspection of the computing environment; provisioning resources of the computing environment to an inspection account based on the determined constraint; and initiating inspection of the plurality of workloads utilizing the provisioned resources.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a compact representation of a computing environment having a remediated cybersecurity threat is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes generating an inspectable disk based on a disk of a resource in the computing environment; detecting a forensic artifact on the inspectable disk; traversing a security graph for a forensic finding based on the forensic artifact, wherein the security graph includes a representation of the computing environment; detecting a remediation node connected to a node representing the forensic finding; and initiating a remediation action, represented by the remediation node.
