Recommended solutions for cloud datastores discovery?

LamiMax · December 2021

What would be your go-to solutions to gain full visibility of your entire cloud data assets (managed / self-hosted / computes)?

I'd use the tools that my CSP provides and make custom, information-display dashboards over that. I would also collect the events generated by my Cloud assets, correlate them in a SIEM, and use custom dashboards to display my Cloud asset's current and historical states for additional situational awareness.

Is this something that you are looking to do at LamiMax?

Thanks @JDMurray,
I'm looking to learn from the best practices in order to see if there's a way to solve this problem much better.
Sounds like you're doing a lot of customization, why not use one of the tools in the market (BigID, Palo Alto Prisma, Imperva Sonar...)?

Commercial CSP tools all require customization to achieve maximum reporting for the organization using the tool(s). There is also $$$$ for the tool vendors in providing "professional services" to help customers tailor their tools to the customer's technical and business environment.

I'm afraid there can't be too much more detail provided without knowing a great deal about the organization and its Cloud data assets.
