1. A method for validating a software image of a virtual instance deployed in a computing environment, comprising:
detecting a virtual instance deployed in a computing environment, the virtual instance deployed based on a software image;
detecting an image name of the software image;
accessing an image software repository to retrieve the software image based on the detected image name;
initiating validation of the retrieved software image and;
initiating a mitigation action on the virtual instance in response to detecting that the retrieved software image is an invalid software image.
