# Object Storage

> Discover, track, and manage cloud object storage buckets across multiple providers.

## Overview

The **Object Storage** module provides a centralized inventory of all cloud storage buckets discovered across your environment.

It enables teams to track storage locations, monitor vulnerabilities, and maintain visibility across multiple cloud providers.

## Dashboard View

The dashboard provides a high-level summary of object storage assets.

### Key Metrics

* **Total Buckets** — All discovered storage buckets
* **Live Buckets** — Active buckets currently tracked
* **Vulnerable Buckets** — Buckets with detected vulnerabilities
* **Critical Buckets** — Buckets with critical issues

### Visual Insights

* **Provider Distribution** — AWS S3, Azure Blob, GCP Cloud Storage, OCI Object Storage
* **Region Distribution** — Bucket distribution across regions
* **Vulnerability Distribution** — Displays severity breakdown when data is available

## Object Storage Inventory

The inventory view lists all buckets with key metadata.

## General Information

Each bucket includes:

* **Asset ID**
* **Type (Object Storage)**
* **Bucket Name**
* **Environment**
* **Internal Asset (Yes / No)**
* **Is New**
* **Associated Assets**
* **First Detected / Last Detected**

Each bucket includes a built-in security summary:

* **Total Vulnerabilities**
* **Severity Breakdown** (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info)
* **Open vs Closed Vulnerabilities**
* **Aggregate CVSS**
* **Remediation Progress**
* **Tested Status**
* **Last Scan Date**

***

## Data Sources (Adapters)

AIM integrates with external providers to discover object storage assets.

* Example: **GitLab Integration**
* Used to enrich and map storage-related assets and repositories

***

## Why This Matters

The Object Storage module helps teams:

* Maintain visibility across all cloud storage buckets
* Track vulnerabilities associated with storage assets
* Understand bucket distribution across providers and regions
* Identify ownership gaps
* Monitor storage assets within a centralized inventory
