Abstract: In some implementations, a method can include determining a virtual machine (VM) inventory baseline of a system, including identifying VMs in a baseline configuration and generating a VM fingerprint for each VM in the inventory baseline, and detecting a user onboarded VM and moving the user onboarded VM to a quarantine operating area for a period of time. The operational posture of the user onboarded VM can be compared to an operational posture policy of the system. When the operational posture of the user onboarded VM meets the operational posture policy of the system, the user onboarded VM is moved from the quarantine area to an operational area, and, when the operational posture of the user onboarded system does not meet the operational policy posture of the system and the period of time has expired, the user onboarded VM is terminated.
