Patent attributes
The technology disclosed relates to streamlined analysis of security posture of a cloud environment. In particular, the disclosed technology relates to a system that analyzes data posture in a cloud environment database using a snapshot of the database. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to access a database in the cloud environment, wherein the database includes a first authentication requirement. The method includes identifying a snapshot of the database, wherein the snapshot includes a second authentication requirement that is different than the first authentication requirement. The method includes accessing the snapshot using the second authentication requirement, generating a representation of the database using the snapshot, and generating a data posture analysis result indicative of a data posture of the database based on scanning the representation of the database.
