Abstract
Cloud endpoints are secured using agents and a controller connected to the agents. A whitelist identifies components and processes of an authorized multi-tiered application for the cloud. An application profile for the application specifies valid computing flows between components of a tier and components of another tier, where components of the tier are executed at an endpoint and the other components of the other tier are executed at another endpoint. Endpoints are provisioned with static routing tables identifying at least one subnet destination. A request is received at a first endpoint to connect to a second endpoint. If the second endpoint falls within the at least one subnet destination, the controller performs one or more further security checks including checking the application profile flow, whitelist, and endpoint quarantine list. A network kernel table at an endpoint that includes the static routing table may be periodically checked to detect tampering.
