Abstract
A security appliance is used to evaluate a software defined infrastructure. The security appliance includes a data ingestion and query engine. The data ingestion and query engine are configured to retrieve configuration and operational information associated with the software defined infrastructure, extract selective information from the retrieved configuration and operational information, and store extracted selective information in a plurality of data store. A policy compliance engine is configured to evaluate selectively stored information for compliance to a policy and generate a report based on the evaluation. The configuration and operational information include information related to asset configuration, audit event indicative of an initiation of an infrastructure related activity for the software defined infrastructure and network communication associated with the software defined infrastructure.
