Hybrid deployment of ephemeral scanners
A cybersecurity scanner deployment system, comprising: at least one processor configured to: access a primary account maintained in a cloud environment; receive information defining a structure of the primary account, the structure including a plurality of assets, and the information excluding raw data of the primary account; deploy, inside the primary account or a secondary account for which trust is established with the primary account, at least one ephemeral scanner configured to scan at least one block storage volume and output metadata defining the at least one block storage volume, the output excluding raw data of the primary account; receive a transmission of the metadata from the at least one ephemeral scanner, excluding raw data of the primary account; analyze the metadata to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities; correlate each of the cybersecurity vulnerabilities with one of the assets; and generate a report correlating the cybersecurity vulnerabilities with the assets.

generate a report correlating the plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities with the plurality of assets.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein defining the at least one block storage volume includes presenting risk data without sharing consumer data or data that was used to identify the risk data.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the metadata defining the at least one block storage volume includes at least one of: an indication of an installed application, a version of an installed application, an operating system configuration, an application configuration, or a profile configuration.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive a transmission of updated metadata defining the at least one block storage volume in response to at least one change to the at least one block storage volumes.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform vulnerability scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform configuration scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform malware scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform lateral-movement risk analysis of the at least one block storage volume.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform sensitive information scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform container scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform keys and password scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
12. A method for cybersecurity scanner deployment, comprising:
accessing a primary account maintained in a cloud environment;
receiving information defining a structure of the primary account, wherein the structure includes a plurality of assets, and wherein the information excludes raw data of the primary account;
deploying, inside the primary account or inside a secondary account for which trust has been established with the primary account, at least one ephemeral scanner configured to scan at least one block storage volume and to output metadata defining the at least one block storage volume, the output excluding raw data of the primary account;
receiving a transmission of the metadata from the at least one ephemeral scanner, wherein the transmission excludes raw data of the primary account;
analyzing the received metadata to identify a plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities;
correlating each of the identified plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities with one of the plurality of assets; and
generating a report correlating the plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities with the plurality of assets.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein defining the at least one block storage volume includes presenting risk data without sharing consumer data or data that was used to identify the risk data.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the metadata defining the at least one block storage volume includes at least one of: an indication of an installed application, a version of an installed application, an operating system configuration, an application configuration, or a profile configuration.
15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving a transmission of updated metadata defining the at least one block storage volume in response to at least one change to the at least one block storage volumes.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform vulnerability scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform configuration scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform malware scanning of the at least one block storage volume.
19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the ephemeral scanner is configured to perform lateral-movement risk analysis of the at least one block storage volume.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
accessing a primary account maintained in a cloud environment;
receiving information defining a structure of the primary account, wherein the structure includes a plurality of assets, and wherein the information excludes raw data of the primary account;
deploying, inside the primary account or inside a secondary account for which trust has been established with the primary account, at least one ephemeral scanner configured to scan at least one block storage volume and to output metadata defining the at least one block storage volume, the output excluding raw data of the primary account;
receiving a transmission of the metadata from the at least one ephemeral scanner, wherein the transmission excludes raw data of the primary account;
analyzing the received metadata to identify a plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities;
correlating each of the identified plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities with one of the plurality of assets; and
generating a report correlating the plurality of cybersecurity vulnerabilities with the plurality of assets.
