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; detecting a data object in the plurality of data files, the data object including a data schema and a content; classifying the first data object based on the content, wherein the content 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 first data object and the classification thereof, wherein the security graph further includes a representation of the cloud computing environment.
