Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable deploying and executing a security policy on endpoints in a network. In an embodiment, a security orchestrator determines a set of endpoints in a network and determines transformed endpoints from the determined set of endpoints through an endpoint transformation process. The security orchestrator determines a connectivity vector for at least a first transformed endpoint and a second transformed endpoint, where the connectivity vector includes properties associated with the corresponding transformed endpoint. Using the properties from the connectivity vector of the first transformed endpoint, a security policy is generated and deployed to the first transformed endpoint. Based on a comparison of the connectivity vectors of the first and second transformed endpoints indicating a similarity between the first and second transformed endpoints, the security policy is further deployed to the second transformed endpoint.
