Abstract
A system and method for applying a policy on a network path is disclosed. The method includes: selecting a reachable resource having a network path to access the reachable resource, wherein the reachable resource is a cloud object deployed in a cloud computing environment, having access to an external network which is external to the cloud computing environment; actively inspecting the network path to determine if the network path of the reachable resource is accessible from the external network; applying a policy on the accessible network path, wherein the policy includes a conditional rule; initiating a mitigation action, in response to determining that the conditional rule is not met; and applying the policy on another network path, in response to determining that the conditional rule is met.
