Abstract
Broadcasts identifying executed execution states and configurations of a plurality of virtual machines may be received. Each of the broadcasts may be received from a client system of a plurality of client systems. At least two of the virtual machines may be installed on each of the plurality of client systems. A determination may be made as to whether a first virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines that is installed on a first client system of the plurality of client systems is unauthorized in view of an execution state of the first virtual machine and a configuration of a second virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machine. A control action for the first client system may be generated when the first virtual machine is determined to be unauthorized.
