1. A method for performing active inspection of a cloud computing environment utilizing optical character recognition, comprising:
receiving at least one network path to access a first resource, wherein the first resource is a cloud object deployed in the cloud computing environment, and potentially accessible from a network which is external to the cloud computing environment; and
generating a first instruction to access the first resource based on a plurality of reachability parameters designated in the at least one network path;
causing execution of the generated first instruction to access the first resource;
receiving a graphical output, the graphical output generated in response to execution of the generated first instruction;
performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the graphical output to generate a textual output;
detecting in the textual output a predetermined data indicator; and
initiating a second active inspection in response to detecting the data indicator in the textual output.
