Abstract
Methods and systems for validating security policy in a cloud computing environment are provided. An example method includes providing a graph database, the graph database representing workloads of the cloud computing environment as nodes and relationships between the workloads as edges, receiving a security policy, the security policy logically describing rules for the relationships between the workloads, determining, based on the security policy and the graph database, a list of violations, the list of violations including at least one relationship from the relationships between the workloads in the graph database, the at least one relationship being not allowed by at least one of the rules in the security policy, and providing the list of violations to a user.
