Zusammenfassung:A method for implementing network security policies in a multi-tenant network environment may include receiving a request for implementation of at least one network security policy on one or more computing devices of a service provider cloud environment. The network security policy identified by the request may be retrieved. The network security policy may be encrypted using encrypting credentials of the one or more computing devices. Decrypting credentials corresponding to the encrypting credentials are stored in a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) within the one or more computing devices. The encrypted network security policy may be pushed to the one or more computing devices, for decryption and implementation at the one or more computing devices.
