Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for data risk management in accessing an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud network. More specifically, embodiments of the invention evaluate virtual machine images launched in cloud-based environments for compliance with a policy. After intercepting a virtual machine image launch request, an intermediary policy management engine determines whether the request conforms to a policy defined by a policy manager, e.g., an enterprise's information security officer. The policy may be based on user identities, virtual machine image attributes, data classifications, or other criteria. Upon determining whether the request conforms to policy, the policy management engine allows the request, blocks the request, or triggers a management approval workflow.
