Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for accessing resources of a secure computing network may be provided. The method may include receiving a request to allow a user to access a secure computing network. The user may be associated with an avatar that has a unique set of one or more identifiers that are associated with the user. A security clearance level of the avatar may be determined from the unique set of identifiers of the avatar. The avatar may be authorized to access one or more virtual compartments of the secure computing network according to the security clearance level of the avatar. The virtual compartment may comprise one or more resources of the secure computing network. The method may further include facilitating display of one or more resources of a virtual compartment accessed by the avatar.
