Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting lateral movement based on an exposed cryptographic network protocol (CNP) key in a cloud computing environment, comprising:
inspecting a first workload for a private CNP key, the private CNP key associated with a hash of a public CNP key;
detecting in a security database a representation of the public CNP key;
detecting in the security database a representation of a second workload connected to the representation of the private CNP key, wherein the representation of the second workload corresponds to a second workload which is an exposed workload; and
generating a lateral movement path, the lateral movement path including an identifier of a second workload, the second workload represented by a representation connected to the representation of the public CNP key.
