The method includes: generating a cloned disk based on an original disk of a resource deployed in a computing environment; detecting an identifier of a first principal on the cloned disk; detecting a second principal in the computing environment, the first principal authorized to assume the first principal; storing a representation of the computing environment in a security database, including: a first principal node representing the first principal, and a second principal node representing the second principal, further associated with a permission; querying the representation to determine a permission of the first principal; determining that the second principal includes a permission which the first principal does not include based on a result of querying the representation; and generating a permission escalation event.",
