Cloud native discovery and protection

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processing circuitry, the instructions comprising instructions to:

• discover instances of a plurality of cloud assets in a cloud native environment based on enumerating a plurality of application programming interface (API) endpoints in the cloud native environment;
• map the instances of the plurality of cloud assets to resources of the cloud native environment based, at least in part, on historical resource access data;
• analyze the historical resource access data to learn access behaviors;
• monitor access of the resources of the cloud native environment by the instances of the plurality of cloud assets to detect abnormal access behavior;
• and
• based on detecting abnormal access behavior by a first of the instances of the plurality of cloud assets, reconfigure at least a portion of the cloud native environment with respect to the abnormal access behavior by the first cloud asset instance.

A system comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the system to:
• discover instances of a plurality of cloud assets in a cloud native environment based on enumerating a plurality of application programming interface (API) endpoints in the cloud native environment;
• map the instances of the plurality of cloud assets to resources of the cloud native environment based, at least in part, on historical resource access data;
• analyze the historical resource access data to learn access behaviors;
• monitor access of the resources of the cloud native environment by the instances of the plurality of cloud assets to detect abnormal access behavior;
• and
• based on detecting abnormal access behavior by a first of the instances of the plurality of cloud assets, reconfigure at least a portion of the cloud native environment with respect to the abnormal access behavior by the first cloud asset instance.
