Systems and methods for automatically selecting an access control entity to mitigate attack traffic
Last updated:
Abstract:
The methods and system described herein automatically generate network router access control entities (ACEs) that are used to filter internet traffic and more specifically to block malicious traffic. The rules are generated by an ACE engine that processes incoming internet packets and examines existing ACEs and a statistical profile of the captured packets to produce one or more recommended ACEs with a quantified measure of confidence. Preferably, a recommended ACE is identified in real time of the attack, and preferably selected from a library of pre-authored ACEs. It is then deployed automatically or alternatively sent to system personnel for review and confirmation.
