Abstract
Example embodiments are disclosed herein for asset architecture evaluation and security enforcement within an enterprise computing platform. One example method includes receiving a proposed architecture for evaluation, wherein the proposed architecture for evaluation relates to integration of an asset into the enterprise computing platform. This example method further includes dynamically evaluating, by risk evaluation circuitry, the proposed architecture against embedded security policies, standards, baselines, or patterns established for the enterprise computing platform. In addition, the example method includes, in an instance in which dynamic evaluation of the proposed architecture identifies security gaps, determining, by the risk evaluation circuitry, changes to the proposed architecture that would remediate the identified security gaps. The example method further includes generating a report regarding the proposed architecture, wherein the report identifies any changes to the proposed architecture that would remediate the identified security gaps. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
