Abstract
A cloud-based security solution that provides a robust and secure framework for managing and enforcing security policies related to various resources managed in the cloud is disclosed. The cloud-based security solution is implemented by a centralized application programming Interface (API) system and a security zone policy enforcement system in a cloud service provider infrastructure. The centralized API system receives an API request that identifies an operation to be performed on a resource in the CSPI. The system determines, from the API request, compartment information and context information associated with the resource. Responsive to determining the compartment information and the context information associated with the resource, the system determines that the resource resides in a compartment that is associated with a security zone. The system then processes the API request and transmits a result of processing of the API request to a user of the centralized API processing system.
