Abstract: A device receives a new rule construct that includes a source address or a destination address, and at least one parameter, where the new rule construct includes a new rule to be provided to a network. The device identifies network devices, of the network, to which the new rule is to be provided based on the new rule construct, and determines a proper position for the new rule, in a list of existing rules provided in each network device, based on the new rule construct and information associated with the network devices. The device causes the new rule to be provided to and stored in the network devices, at the proper position, in the list of existing rules, determined for each network device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for optimizing the placement of automatically generated rules within security policies. An administrator may, for example, interact with the graphical representation of rules rendered by the threat control module and, responsive to the interaction, the system may determine an optimal placement for the created rule in the list of rules for the identified security device based on either the existence of anomalies or threat IP data and/or advanced security parameters. In this way, the system allows administrators to configure rules with the most optimal sequence to detect threats.

Abstract: Techniques are described for taking direct actions, such as selectively blocking or allowing traffic and applications, while monitoring events from a graphical representation of threats. As such, the administrator in an enterprise interacts with the graphical representation of threats rendered by the security management system to automatically invoke a policy/rule module of the security management system to configure and update security policies for the security devices deployed throughout the computer networks of the enterprise.
