AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring and deploying security policy rules in in a container-based computing infrastructure. A computing platform may train a quantum knowledge graph based on interactions in a container-based computing infrastructure. The computing platform may generate and deploy, to the container-based computing infrastructure, one or more security rules associated with interactions in the container-based computing infrastructure based on the quantum knowledge graph les. Subsequently, the computing platform may monitor interactions between containers in the container-based computing infrastructure and identify, using the quantum knowledge graph, an anomaly in a first interaction between a first container and a second container. Based on identifying the anomaly, the computing platform may thereafter perform a verification analysis of the first interaction to determine a potential security risk and send, to an administrator computing platform, an alert action configured to be displayed on an interface of the administrator computing platform.
