Abstract: System, methods, and apparatuses enable a network security system to more efficiently deploy security profiles to virtual servers managed by the network security application. For example, a network security application is enabled to more efficiently deploy security profiles to new virtual servers as the virtual servers are created in a computing environment, where the new virtual servers may have varying security requirements. A security profile herein refers to a set of security policy configurations related to various functions of a virtual server including, for example, to which networks a virtual server is permitted to access, security configurations for applications running on the virtual server, user permissions, etc.
