Abstract
Example methods are provided for a host to maintain security system information in a virtualized computing environment, in which the host supporting a security system to secure a source virtualized computing instance. The method may include, based on an operation associated with the source virtualized computing instance, determining to maintain security system information associated with the security system. The method may further include obtaining the security system information that includes first information from the source virtualized computing instance, or second information from a source security virtualized computing instance, or both. The source virtualized computing instance may implement a first component of the security system and the source security virtualized computing instance a second component of the security system. The method may further include sending the first information to a destination virtualized computing instance, or the second information to a destination security virtualized computing instance, or both.
