Abstract
A system and method for inspecting encrypted disks for a cybersecurity object using a custom key are disclosed. The method includes detecting an encrypted disk in a cloud computing environment, the cloud computing environment including a security policy service; authorizing a key policy on the security policy service for a custom key of an inspector account, wherein the key policy is a policy authorized to decrypt the encrypted disk; generating a second encrypted disk based on the encrypted disk; inspecting the second encrypted disk for a cybersecurity object with the custom key; and releasing a resource allocated to the second encrypted disk in response to completing the inspection.
