DETERMINING REACHABILITY OF OBJECTS DEPLOYED IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT FROM TO EXTERNAL NETWORK

A method and system for determining reachability of objects deployed in a cloud environment to an external network is presented. The method includes identifying a plurality of network paths in the cloud environment, wherein each network path includes at least two objects deployed in the cloud environment; statistically analyzing each object in each respective network path to determine its reachability properties; analyzing the reachability properties determined for each object to determine if the respective object is reachable through its respective network path from at least a network external to the cloud environment; and saving each object together with its respective network path and reachability properties in a database.
