Abstract
A system and method for applying a policy on a network path is presented. The method includes: selecting a reachable resource having a network path to access the reachable resource, wherein the reachable resource is deployed in a cloud computing environment, having access to an external network; actively inspecting an external network path to determine if the network path of the reachable resource is accessible from the external network; determining that the network path is a valid path, in response to determining that the reachable resource is accessible from the external network path; applying a policy on the valid path; and initiating a mitigation action, in response to determining that the policy is violated.
