Abstract:
A firewall monitors network activity and stores information about that network activity in a network activity log. The network activity is analyzed to identify a potential threat. The potential threat is further analyzed to identify other potential threats that are related to the potential threat, and are likely to pose a future risk to a protected network. A block list is updated to include the potential threat and the other potential threats to protect the protected network from the potential threat and the other potential threats.
