Abstract
A method, computing device and system are disclosed for evaluating security of virtual infrastructures of tenants in a cloud environment. At least one security metric may be calculated for virtual infrastructures of a tenant based on information associated with at least one virtual resource of the first tenant and at least one interaction of the at least one virtual resource of the first tenant with at least one virtual resource of at least one other tenant in a multi-tenant virtualized infrastructure. At least one security parameter may be evaluated for the first tenant based at least in part on at least one of the at least one calculated security metric for monitoring a security level of the first tenant relative to the at least one other tenant in the multi-tenant virtualized infrastructure.
