Abstract

See full text

Cloud infrastructure of a cloud service provider comprises a processing platform implementing a security policy enforcement framework. The security policy enforcement framework comprises a policy analyzer that is configured to identify at least one security policy associated with at least one tenant of the cloud service provider, to analyze the security policy against configuration information characterizing the cloud infrastructure of the cloud service provider, and to control execution of one or more applications of said at least one tenant within the cloud infrastructure in accordance with the security policy, based at least in part on one or more results of the analysis of the security policy. The security policy enforcement framework may be implemented in a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer of the cloud infrastructure, and may comprise a runtime controller, an operating system controller, a hypervisor controller and a PaaS controller.
