Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a security orchestrator to detect a virtual machine deployed in a virtual environment. The virtual machine includes a tag storing information associated with the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines that the tag contains one or more security elements, the security elements indicating information for determining security settings and policies to be applied to the virtual machine. The security orchestrator determines the security settings and policies associated with the one or more security elements. The security orchestrator then assigns or applies the security settings and policies for the virtual machine based on values of the one or more security elements.
