Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to analysis of security posture of a cloud environment. In particular, the disclosed technology relates to a system and method for analysis of infrastructure posture of a cloud environment, that include detecting a triggering criterion corresponding to initiation of an update scan of the infrastructure posture of the cloud environment, and invoking an incremental change detector based on the triggering criterion. The incremental change detector is configured to scan the cloud environment and return a scan result that identifies one or more changes to a set of infrastructure assets in the cloud environment within a selected time period. A cloud infrastructure graph is updated based on the one or more changes to the set of infrastructure assets, wherein the cloud infrastructure graph defines nodes that represent resources in the cloud environment and edges, between the nodes, that represent relationships between the resources.
