  • Publication number: 20240340286
    Abstract: Systems and methods may generally be used to automatically curate a blocklist of internet protocol (IP) addresses. An example method may include using risk factor scores for a particular IP address that was blocked by a traffic control component to determine whether to add the particular IP address to a blocklist. The example method may include, in response to a determination to add the particular IP address to the blocklist, generating an IP address entry in the blocklist for the particular IP address, the IP address entry optionally including a corresponding time-based expiration. The example method may include outputting the blocklist or the IP address entry, such as in response to a request from a firewall.
