Techniques for agentless detection of sensitive data on managed databases

Abstract

A system and method for agentless detection of sensitive data in a cloud computing environment includes generating a snapshot from a managed database service, the snapshot including a plurality of data files stored in a bucket on a cloud computing environment; deploying a virtual instance based on the snapshot to generate a database, the database including a database management system (DBMS); querying the DBMS to fetch data from the database; classifying the fetched data, wherein the fetched data is classified as sensitive data or non-sensitive data; and generating a node on a security graph stored in a graph database to represent the fetched data and the classification thereof, wherein the security graph includes a representation of the cloud computing environment.
