Abstract

A method and system include identifying a virtual asset creation template associated with virtual assets to be verified. A test virtual asset is generated using the virtual asset creation template and deployed in a testing environment. The test virtual asset is then analyzed in the testing environment to identify any vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability is identified in the designated test virtual asset, a remedy to the vulnerability is applied to the virtual asset creation template which is used to create a virtual asset in a production environment. The method and system further include monitoring the production environment virtual asset for potential security threats, with a virtual asset agent, and determining a severity of identified security threats. and potentially creating a new virtual asset with the virtual asset agent and decommissioning the current virtual asset as a result.
