  • METHOD OF DYNAMICALLY UPDATING NETWORK SECURITY POLICY RULES WHEN NEW NETWORK RESOURCES ARE PROVISIONED IN A SERVICE LANDSCAPE
    Publication number: 20100005505
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method 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. 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. 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.
