Application protection architecture with triangulated authorization is described herein. According to one embodiment, a packet of a network transaction is received at a network element from a client system over a first network for accessing a destined server of a datacenter over a second network, where network element operates as a security gateway to the datacenter. In response to the packet, one or more user attributes associated with a user of the client system are obtained from an identity store, where the user attributes include a user identifier that identifies the user and a machine identifier that identifies the client system. Authentication and/or authorization are performed on the packet using the user attributes to determine whether the user of the client system is eligible to access the destined server of the datacenter. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
