Abstract

Identifying an attack surface of a cloud deployment, including: identifying a security threat of a cloud deployment; gathering, from one or more components in a software development pipeline, information associated with the cloud deployment; identifying, based on the information associated with the cloud deployment, a portion of code enabling the security threat; and generating the alert based on the security threat and the identified portion of code.

Claims (28)

1 . A method of identifying an attack surface of a cloud deployment, the method comprising:

identifying a security threat of a cloud deployment;

gathering, from one or more components in a software development pipeline, information associated with the cloud deployment;

identifying, based on the information associated with the cloud deployment, a portion of code enabling the security threat; and

generating an alert based on the security threat and the identified portion of code.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a repository storing the portion of code, and wherein the alert indicates the identified repository.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a particular one or more lines of code enabling the security threat, and wherein the alert indicates the particular one or more lines of code.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a user that added the portion of code to the cloud deployment, and wherein the alert indicates the user.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein gathering the information associated with the cloud deployment comprises gathering runtime information associated with the cloud deployment, and wherein the alert identifies at least a portion of the runtime information for the cloud deployment.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security threat comprises a detected vulnerability.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security threat comprises an identified configuration drift.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security threat comprises a detected risk level.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security threat comprises a detected anomaly.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting a user interface comprising a selectable element that, when selected, modifies the identified portion of code to remediate the security threat.

11 . A computer program product for identifying an attack surface of a cloud deployment, the computer program product disposed on a computer readable medium, the computer program product including computer program instructions configurable to carry out the steps of:

identifying a security threat of a cloud deployment;

gathering, from one or more components in a software development pipeline, information associated with the cloud deployment;

identifying, based on the information associated with the cloud deployment, a portion of code enabling the security threat; and

generating an alert based on the security threat and the identified portion of code.

12 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a repository storing the portion of code, and wherein the alert indicates the identified repository.

13 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a particular one or more lines of code enabling the security threat, and wherein the alert indicates the particular one or more lines of code.

14 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein identifying the portion of code comprises identifying a user that added the portion of code to the cloud deployment, and wherein the alert indicates the user.

15 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein gathering the information associated with the cloud deployment comprises gathering runtime information associated with the cloud deployment, and wherein the alert identifies at least a portion of the runtime information for the cloud deployment.

16 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the security threat comprises a detected vulnerability.

17 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the security threat comprises an identified configuration drift.

18 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the security threat comprises a risk level.

19 . The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the steps further comprise presenting a user interface comprising a selectable element that, when selected, modifies the identified portion of code to remediate the security threat.

20 . The computer program product of claim 11 further comprising computer program instructions configurable to carry out the step of presenting a polygraph.
