Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for establishing secure access between network identities. Techniques may include receiving, from a first network identity, a request to access a second network identity and obtaining at least one security attribute. Techniques may further include determining, based on the at least one security attribute, a security level for a secure tunnel with a communication component located in a network associated with the second network identity, identifying, just-in-time and based on the security level, the secure tunnel with the communication component located in the network associated with the second network identity resource; and establishing a secure connection with the second network identity using the secure tunnel.
