Abstract
A system and method for inspecting different types of cloud workloads for cybersecurity threats, all deployed in a cloud computing environment, includes a unifying extractor to expose different compute types to agnostic inspectors. The method includes accessing a first cloud workload of a first type from a plurality of deployed cloud workloads; accessing a second cloud workload of a second type from the plurality of deployed cloud workloads; extracting data from each of the first cloud workload and the second cloud workload into a storage layer having a data schema, based on a predefined data structure; and inspecting the extracted data to detect a first target object, the target object indicating a cybersecurity threat, wherein extraction for each of the first cloud workload and the second cloud workload is based on the workload type.
