In step 209, scanning system 101 may execute a process of change reviewing. The change reviewing may be performed by scanning system 101. In some embodiments, the change reviewing process may include scanning system 101 scanning cloud infrastructure 106 again to determine the differences between an earlier observed snapshot of cloud infrastructure 106 and the current state thereof.
In some embodiments, scanning system 101 may monitor cloud change, or “delta,” logs (e.g., Cloud event logs such as AWS CloudTrail, monitoring a network-related change in state, a trust-related change in state, or a disk configuration-related change in state in at least one of the primary asset group or a secondary asset group) and contextualize associated risks discovered within a customer cloud account. In some embodiments, scanning system 101 may generate a new map of assets based on a review of all systems or devices in cloud infrastructure 106 (e.g., as described above with respect to step 203), and compare the new map to the map generated earlier in step 203 to determine which assets have changed. In some embodiments, this comparison may require comparing data, metadata, network connections, software configurations, firewall configurations, or any other aspects related to cloud infrastructure 106, including, for example, determining new assets that are created or assets for which their configuration has changed.
