Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for identifying security vulnerabilities in cloud computing resources. To investigate the configuration of cloud resources, a cloud map query is constructed based on a natural language sentence. In some configurations, a machine learning (ML) model converts the sentence to a structured sentence that conveys the intention of the natural language sentence but in machine readable form. The structured sentence is validated to ensure it represents a legal arrangement of cloud resources. The validated structured sentence is then used to generate a cloud map query. The cloud map query retrieves information about a client's cloud resources. In some configurations, query results are analyzed to identify security vulnerabilities and/or follow-up queries are suggested.
