System for supervising the security of an architecture

Abstract

A method is provided for supervising security of an architecture having a plurality of interconnected clouds. A cloud includes a plurality of resources and a security supervisor. The plurality of resources forms in the cloud a plurality of groups of resources associated respectively with a security domain. A security controller supervises the resources of the domain, and a plurality of physical machines contains the resources of the plurality of clouds. The method includes: receiving a security event by a security controller of a first cloud, originating from a first resource associated with a first security domain; dispatching said security event to the security supervisor of the first cloud; and dispatching by the security supervisor of the first cloud a security order in reaction to the security event to at least one second security controller of the first cloud and dispatching the security order by the second security controller to a second resource supervised by the second controller.
