Abstract
Architecture that provides additional data that can be obtained and employed in security models in order to provide security to services over the service lifecycle. The architecture automatically propagates security classifications throughout the lifecycle of the service, which can include initial deployment, expansion, moving servers, monitoring, and reporting, for example, and further include classification propagation from the workload (computer), classification propagation in the model, classification propagation according to the lineage of the storage location (e.g., virtual hard drive), status propagation in the model and classification based on data stored in the machine.
