Cloud Storage Exploration

A subject searches, browses, enumerates, or otherwise explores cloud storage resources to identify data of interest. This may include object storage buckets, containers, blobs, file shares, storage accounts, cloud-hosted folders, or storage-backed services within infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, or software-as-a-service environments.

Cloud storage exploration may occur through cloud management consoles, storage browsers, command-line tools, application programming interfaces, cloud shells, synchronization clients, or third-party administration tools. The subject may list storage locations, review object names and metadata, preview files, inspect access permissions, or identify repositories containing sensitive, regulated, operational, or commercially valuable data.
