Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable to enable the insertion and configuration of interface microservices at servers or other types of computing devices in a computing environment in response to changes to security policies affecting one or components of the computing environment. In one embodiment, a security application detects servers in a computing environment and generates profile data for the detected servers. The security application assigns detected servers to security policy groups by applying a set of filters to the generated profile data for each server in an order specified by a set of precedence rules. The security policy groups are each associated with one or more security policies that define security rules and other configurations used to provide security services to servers that are members of the corresponding security policy group.
