Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method includes monitoring a plurality of connections of a plurality of host applications at a host, where each connection of the plurality of connections carries network traffic associated with a respective host application of the plurality of host applications. A plurality of sets of security attributes are detected, and include a respective set of security attributes for each connection of the plurality of connections. The plurality of sets of security attributes are stored in a security database. From the security database, the respective set of security attributes of a first connection are compared to a centralized security policy. It is determined that the respective set of security attributes of the first connection do not meet the centralized security policy. A remedial action is performed on the first connection, responsive to the respective set of security attributes of the first connection not meeting the centralized security policy.
