By way of example, FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary process 300 of cyber security scanning for a cloud environment, consistent with the disclosed embodiments. While the block diagram may be described below in connection with certain implementation embodiments presented in other figures, those implementations are provided for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to serve as a limitation on the block diagram. For example, the steps in FIG. 7 may be executed in any order, steps may be duplicated, or steps may be omitted. In some embodiments, the process 300 may be performed by at least one processor (e.g., a CPU) of a computing device or system (e.g., scanning system 101 in FIG. 1) to perform operations or functions described herein, and may be described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 1-2D by way of example. In some embodiments, some aspects of the process 300 may be implemented as software (e.g., program codes or instructions) that are stored in a memory or a non-transitory computer-readable medium. In some embodiments, some aspects of the process 300 may be implemented as hardware (e.g., a specific-purpose circuit). In some embodiments, the process 700 may be implemented as a combination of software and hardware.
FIG. 7 includes process blocks 702-710. At block 702, at least one processor may utilize a cloud provider API to access a block storage volume of a workload maintained on a target account in a target system of a cloud storage environment.
