Abstract
Systems and methods for virtual machine locking. An example method may include: applying a lock to a virtual machine, the lock enabling ongoing execution of the virtual machine and outbound communication by the virtual machine while precluding unauthenticated inbound communication to the virtual machine, receiving, from a first device and in response to an authentication request, an authentication attempt, processing the authentication attempt to authenticate the first device with respect to the virtual machine, and in response to a determination that the first device was successfully authenticated with respect to the virtual machine, enabling inbound communication from the first device to the virtual machine.
