1. A method, comprising:
- in response to an attempt to manipulate logical assets of a virtualized ecosystem, evaluating, by a computer-based control system communicatively coupled to an underlying physical, computer-based environment abstracted by the virtualized ecosystem, controls for the attempted manipulation according to a context within which the attempted manipulation is being performed and properties of the logical assets, the controls being embedded within the logical assets and including contextual, behavioral and environmental attributes of the logical assets; and
enforcing the controls by permitting or denying the attempted manipulation according to an outcome of the evaluation.

Abstract
Resources of a virtualized ecosystem are intelligently secured by defining and analyzing object handling security control information for one or more logical resources in the virtualized ecosystem and deriving therefrom object properties for each of the logical resources involved in the execution of a virtual machine in any given context within the virtualized ecosystem.
