Abstract
Methods and systems for reliability prediction of security policies in a cloud computing environment are provided. An example method includes providing a graph database representing workloads of the cloud computing environment as nodes and relationships between the workloads as edges, the relationships being associated with points in time, receiving a security policy including rules for the relationships between the workloads, generating a plurality of earliest points in time based on the rules and the graph database, wherein generating the plurality of earliest points in time includes: determining, for each rule of the rules, a subset of the relationships in the graph database such that each of the subset of the relationships matches the rule, and selecting an earliest point in time from points in time associated with relationships from the subset, and analyzing the plurality of earliest points in time to determine a reliability score for the security policy.
