Abstract

System and method for executing a security operation for microservices/serverless function of a microservices-based/serverless application running on a physical infrastructure use a central security controller to execute the security operation for different microservices/serverless functions of the microservices-based/serverless application. Requests for the security operation are transmitted to the central security controller when communications are received at the different microservices/serverless functions of the microservices-based/serverless application. Results of the security operation are then received from the central security controller at the different microservices/serverless functions of the microservices-based/serverless application. Based on the results of the security operation, a task associated with the communications is executed at the different microservices/serverless functions.
