Abstract
An approach is provided for multi-layer access control policy enforcement in a multi-tenant cloud environment. An advanced policy service is defined in a data container The advanced policy service provides management and validation of an access control policy at multiple levels including an application layer and a low layer, which is at a level lower than the application layer. Using the advanced policy service, a policy definition of the application layer is mapped to an access validation and authorization policy of the low layer. Rules are generated using an analysis of data packets by an eBPF program Using the eBPF program, the policy definition and the rules are applied to a request received from a SaaS application to access a data source. Based on the application of the policy definition and the rules, a data vulnerability is identified and the request is rejected.
