About Our Tool

Accidental exposure of sensitive data in cloud storage has become a major security risk, as many organizations misconfigure their access settings without realizing that files or folders are left open to the public. Such weaknesses can lead to serious consequences including data leaks, financial loss, reputational damage, and compliance issues. To address this, our project CS-Guardian is designed to scan Google Cloud Storage using official Google Cloud Platform APIs to detect any publicly accessible folders, alert users when risks are found, and present the results through a clear and user-friendly dashboard. By combining automated detection with real-time alerts and simple visual reporting, this project not only helps prevent data leaks but also raises awareness among users about the dangers of public cloud misconfigurations, empowering both individuals and organizations to strengthen the security of their cloud environments.
