Abstract
Methods and systems for managing security in a cloud computing environment are provided. Exemplary methods include: gathering data about workloads and applications in the cloud computing environment; updating a graph database using the data, the graph database representing the workloads of the cloud computing environment as nodes and relationships between the workloads as edges; receiving a security template, the security template logically describing targets in the cloud computing environment to be protected and how to protect the targets; creating a security policy using the security template and information in the graph database; and deploying the security policy in the cloud computing environment.
