Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing network access control in virtual environments. The method may include: 1) injecting a transient security agent into a virtual machine that is running on a host machine; 2) receiving, from the transient security agent, an indication of whether the virtual machine complies with one or more network access control policies; and 3) controlling network access of the virtual machine based on the indication of whether the virtual machine complies with the one or more network access control policies. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed herein.
