Abstract
A machine in the form of a computer is configured to run virtual machines. A virtual machine migrated from another computer is run in the computer. A security profile of the migrated virtual machine in the computer indicates a configuration setting of another network component in another computer network. A network profile in the computer indicates a configuration setting of a network component in the current computer network. The security profile of the migrated virtual machine is automatically updated to reflect the configuration setting of the network component in the current computer network to provide computer security function in the current computer network.
