Abstract
A system and method for signatureless validation of objects in a computing environment, including artifacts, objects, files, virtual images, and the like. The method includes: detecting a request to deploy an instance based on a software artifact in the computing environment; generating a first fingerprint based on the software artifact in response to detecting the request to deploy the instance; querying a fingerprint database, including a plurality of validated fingerprints, to determine if the first fingerprint is stored therein; deploying the instance in response to validating the first fingerprint; and blocking deployment of the instance in response to determining the first fingerprint is not of the plurality of validated fingerprints.
