Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for protecting cloud resources. The methods and systems may use a virtual gatekeeper resource to enforce secure access controls to cloud resources for a list of privileged operations. The cloud resources and the virtual gatekeeper resource may be in different security domains within a cloud computing system and the cloud resources may be linked to the virtual gatekeeper resource. A request may be sent to perform a privileged operation on the cloud resource. Access may be provided to the virtual gatekeeper resource in response to approval of the request and the access to the virtual gatekeeper resource may be used to perform the privileged operation on the cloud resource.
