Abstract

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to generate and monitor security infrastructure. An example apparatus comprises programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to: provision the security infrastructure based on a security infrastructure generation request; detect a global infrastructure template based on the security infrastructure generation request; and generate the security infrastructure based on the provisioned security infrastructure, the global infrastructure template, and an identified security infrastructure generation authorization, the security infrastructure generation authorization to indicate whether the generation of the security infrastructure is permitted.

Claims (42)

1 . An apparatus to generate a security infrastructure for a compute device, the apparatus comprising:

interface circuitry;

machine readable instructions; and

programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:

provision the security infrastructure based on a security infrastructure generation request;

detect a global infrastructure template based on the security infrastructure generation request; and

generate the security infrastructure based on the provisioned security infrastructure, the global infrastructure template, and an identified security infrastructure generation authorization, the security infrastructure generation authorization to indicate whether the generation of the security infrastructure is permitted.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to generate a provisioning request, the security infrastructure to be provisioned based on the security infrastructure generation request and the provisioning request.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to classify parameters for environment specific security infrastructure generation.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to output the generated security infrastructure for use in at least one of a global level or a local level.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to monitor the security infrastructure during operation.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to:

check a status of the security infrastructure; and

determine whether the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to construct security infrastructure modifications based on a determination that the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the programmable circuitry is to apply the constructed security infrastructure modifications to the security infrastructure.

9 . A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least:

provision security infrastructure based on a security infrastructure generation request;

detect a global infrastructure template based on the security infrastructure generation request; and

generate the security infrastructure based on the provisioned security infrastructure, the global infrastructure template, and an identified security infrastructure generation authorization, the security infrastructure generation authorization to indicate whether the generation of the security infrastructure is permitted.

10 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to generate a provisioning request, the security infrastructure to be provisioned based on the security infrastructure generation request and the provisioning request.

11 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to classify parameters for environment specific security infrastructure generation.

12 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to output the generated security infrastructure for use in at least one of a global level or a local level.

13 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to monitor the security infrastructure during operation.

14 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to:

check a status of the security infrastructure; and

determine whether the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

15 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to construct security infrastructure modifications based on a determination that the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

16 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the programmable circuitry to apply the constructed security infrastructure modifications to the security infrastructure.

17 . A method for generating a security infrastructure, the method comprising:

provisioning the security infrastructure based on a security infrastructure generation request;

detecting a global infrastructure template based on the security infrastructure generation request; and

generating the security infrastructure based on the provisioned security infrastructure, the global infrastructure template, and an identified security infrastructure generation authorization, the security infrastructure generation authorization to indicate whether the generation of the security infrastructure is permitted.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further including generating a provisioning request, the security infrastructure to be provisioned based on the security infrastructure generation request and the provisioning request.

19 . The method of claim 17 , further including classifying parameters for environment specific security infrastructure generation.

20 . The method of claim 17 , further including outputting the generated security infrastructure for use in at least one of a global level or a local level.

21 . The method of claim 17 , further including monitoring the security infrastructure during operation.

22 . The method of claim 21 , further including:

checking a status of the security infrastructure; and

determining whether the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

23 . The method of claim 22 , further including constructing security infrastructure modifications based on a determination that the security infrastructure has been at least one of modified or compromised.

24 . The method of claim 23 , further including applying the constructed security infrastructure modifications to the security infrastructure.
