  • Patent number: 8990387
    Abstract: A system and an article of manufacture for automatically determining configuration completeness during information technology (IT) transformation from a pre-transformation source environment to a post-transformation target environment include obtaining a record of each of multiple data flows in a source environment, transforming each data flow in the source environment to a transformed data flow that corresponds to a target environment, and automatically determining that each of the transformed data flows is covered by a firewall configuration of one or more interfaces in the target environment.
