An on-demand virtual security system between a client and a server in communication with a network, the system including an orchestrator, wherein upon receiving a service request from at least one of the client and the server, the orchestrator instantiates a security virtual function within the network and supplies the security virtual function with at least one connectivity policy, and wherein the security virtual function applies the at least one connectivity policy to approve or disapprove a connection between the client and the server and wherein upon the security virtual function approving the connection between the client and the server, a orchestrator establishes a data session; and wherein after the data session has concluded, the orchestrator terminates the security virtual function.
