US Patent 11876813 Cloud data schema detection system

The technology disclosed relates to streamlined analysis of security posture of a cloud environment. In particular, the disclosed technology relates to a data schema detection system that uses a content-based data classifier to classify data items in a cloud environment. A computer-implemented method includes accessing a data store in the cloud environment and obtaining metadata representing a structure of schema objects in the data store. The method includes executing, based on the metadata, a content-based data classifier to classify data items in the schema objects and outputting a classifier result that represents the classification of the data in the schema objects.
