Abstract

A secure approval chain for runtime protection is disclosed. As an application or pod is developed in a pipeline, an approval engine ensures that the pod is approved by all approvers. The approval engine generates a deployment token that is added to the configuration data of the pod and that can be used at deployment to perform various security operations including pod verification, runtime environment control and enforcement, and pod or application verification.
