Abstract
A system and method for detecting lateral movement in a cloud computing environment is based on configuration code. The method includes: accessing a configuration code, the configuration code including a plurality of code objects, wherein a code object of the plurality of code objects corresponds to a cloud entity deployed in the cloud computing environment; selecting an identifier of an exposed cloud entity, the cloud entity associated with a secret; querying a security graph based on the identifier to detect a node representing the secret, wherein the node representing the secret is connected to a node representing the exposed cloud entity; traversing the security graph to detect a second node connected to the node representing the secret, the second node representing a second cloud entity deployed based on the code object of the plurality of code objects; and generating a mitigation action based on the second cloud entity.
