Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a microservice to identify server-to-server communication paths between servers in a networked environment. The system identifies a server connected to a security microservice managed by a management microservice. The system deploys a security policy on the identified server, and identifies the server-to-server communication paths between the identified server and one or more of a plurality of servers. The system identifies the active communication paths from the identified server to one or more of a plurality of servers, or a subset of communication paths determined based on search criteria. When the system identifies servers of the one or more of the plurality of servers without an existing security policy, the system processes the identified server. In one embodiment, processing the identified servers includes applying a security policy to the identified servers.
