Abstract
Systems for providing vulnerability scanning within distributed microservices are provided herein. In some embodiments, a system includes a plurality of microsegmented environments that each includes a hypervisor, an enforcement point that has an active probe device, and a plurality of virtual machines that each implements at least one microservice. The system also has a cloud data center server coupled with the plurality of microsegmented environments over a network. The cloud data center server has a security controller configured to provide a security policy to each of the plurality of microsegmented environments and an active probe controller configured to cause the active probe device of the plurality of microsegmented environments to execute a vulnerability scan.
