1. A system for applying policies to cloud-based computing services comprising:
- a policy management cloud that applies user-defined policies to multiple distinct groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions across a network; and
a plurality of computing clouds, wherein each computing cloud provides at least one cloud-based computing service;
wherein the policy management cloud is operatively coupled to the plurality of computing clouds and enforces the user-defined policies to groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions accessible through the at least one cloud-based computing service.

7. A system for applying policies to cloud-based computing services comprising:
-
a server that stores user-defined policies applicable to multiple distinct groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions across a network; and a computing cloud, wherein the computing cloud provides at least one cloud-based computing service; wherein the server is operatively coupled to the computing cloud and propagates to the computing cloud the user-defined policies applicable to the groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions, wherein at least one of the user-defined policies is recognized by and enforced by the at least one cloud-based computing service. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for applying policies to cloud-based computing services:
-
establishing a policy management cloud configured to apply user-defined policies to multiple distinct groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions across a network; operatively connecting the policy management cloud to a plurality of computing clouds, wherein each computing cloud provides at least one cloud-based computing service; and enforcing via the policy management cloud the user-defined policies to groups, users, domains, objects, or interactions accessible through the at least one cloud-based computing service. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
