Abstract:
Consistent enterprise and cloud security profiles are enforced. A domain model describing cloud resource objects associated with an enterprise is defined. Further, a relationship map describing relationships between the objects of the domain model and roles of enterprise users described by local security profiles maintained by the enterprise is specified. The domain model and relationship map collectively form an access policy for the cloud resource objects. Network traffic is monitored to detect network traffic attempting to configure a cloud security profile describing permissions of an enterprise user with respect to cloud resource objects in a manner inconsistent with the access policy. Detected network traffic attempting to configure the cloud security profile in the manner inconsistent with access policy is remediated.
