Abstract
A method and system for determining abnormal configuration of network objects deployed in a cloud computing environment are provided. The method includes collecting network object data on a plurality of network objects deployed in the cloud computing environment; constructing a network graph based on the collected network object data, wherein the network graph includes a visual representation of network objects identified in the cloud computing environment; determining relationships between the identified network objects in the network graph, wherein the determined relationships between the identified network objects includes descriptions of connections between the identified network objects; and analyzing the network graph and the determined relationships to generate insights, wherein the generated insights include at least a list of abnormal connections between the identified network objects.
