Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing automated governance policy-based security for a cloud native application. Recently unused security misconfigurations of a cloud native application are identified. A first configuration change that resolves a first recently unused security misconfiguration is automatically implemented as a result of the first configuration change being capable of reducing productivity of a user and having a likelihood of reducing security of the cloud native application that is greater than or equal to a likelihood threshold. A second configuration change that resolves a second recently unused security misconfiguration is automatically implemented, and a governance policy, which defines a security action to perform with regard to a future attempt to implement the second recently unused security misconfiguration, is automatically generated, as a result of the second configuration change being capable of compromising access of an end user to a version of the cloud native application.
