Abstract
A system for providing access control in a cloud includes a software defined network including a software defined network controller. The system is configured to authenticate user access using multi-factor authentication. If the user is authorized to access a cloud resource the software defined network controller sends instructions to insert layer 3 and 4 user-specific flows to a software defined network device connected to the cloud resource. The user-specific flows cause the software defined network device to grant access to the cloud resource to the user.
