Techniques for constraint- and risk-based cybersecurity inspection in cloud computing environments

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for inspecting a cloud computing environment for cybersecurity issues based on constraints, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processing circuitries of a device, cause the device to:
• detect a plurality of entities deployed in a cloud computing environment;
• inspect each entity of the plurality of entities for a cybersecurity object, wherein the cybersecurity object indicates a cybersecurity issue;
• generate an inspection plan based on a result of inspecting each entity of the plurality of entities, wherein the result includes detecting a cybersecurity object on at least an entity of the plurality of entities;
• inspect the cloud computing environment based on the inspection plan to detect the cybersecurity object;
• and
• initiate a remediation action in response to detecting the cybersecurity object.

A system for inspecting a cloud computing environment for cybersecurity issues based on constraints comprising:

• one or more processing circuitries configured to:
• detect a plurality of entities deployed in a cloud computing environment;
• inspect each entity of the plurality of entities for a cybersecurity object, wherein the cybersecurity object indicates a cybersecurity issue;
• generate an inspection plan based on a result of inspecting each entity of the plurality of entities;
• inspect the cloud computing environment based on the inspection plan;
• and
• initiate a remediation action in the cloud computing environment in response to detecting the cybersecurity object on the at least an entity of the cloud computing environment, wherein the remediation action resolves the cybersecurity issue.
