METHOD OF DYNAMICALLY UPDATING NETWORK SECURITY POLICY RULES WHEN NEW NETWORK RESOURCES ARE PROVISIONED IN A SERVICE LANDSCAPE

摘要

A computer- implemented method (400) is provided for updating network security- policy rules when network resources are provisioned in a service landscape instance. The method includes categorizing network resources in a service landscape instance based on a service landscape model (404). The method further includes responding to the provisioning of a network resource by automatically generating one or more security policy rules for a newly- provisioned network resource (406). Additionally, the method includes updating security policy rules of pre-existing network resources in the service landscape instance that are determined to be eligible to communicate with the newly-provisioned network resource so as to include the newly-provisioned network resource as a remote resource based on the service landscape model (408).
