A network interface card includes a memory configured to store a credential associated with one of a manufacturer of the network interface card, a particular manufacturer of the server that includes the network interface card, or another manufacturer of an enclosure that holds the network interface card. A processor performs network discovery to identify devices in a local area network, performs port configuration, and establishes a secure network connection with a cloud service broker. Subsequent to the establishment of the secure network connection, the processor submits a provisioning request to the cloud service broker, receives a response to the provisioning request, and applies the security policies to the network interface card, wherein the security policies are for the devices of the local area network.
