Abstract: A method for dynamically creating network access control lists includes, by a processor receiving a request for an access control list (ACL). The method further includes, in response to receiving the request for the ACL: receiving a plurality of resource description from a first data source, receiving a policy enforcement point (PEP) graph for a network from a second data source, and using the plurality of resource descriptions and the PEP graph to generate the ACL, wherein the ACL comprises at least one policy for controlling network traffic through a PEP of the network. Each of the plurality of resource descriptions is associated with a plurality of computing devices in the network, and includes one or more of the following: information corresponding to an Internet Protocol definition of a computing device, information corresponding to desired access of the computing device, and information corresponding to permitted access of the computing device.
