Abstract:
The invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for efficiently configuring the security rules for application firewalls in a cloud-based infrastructure, the cloud-based infrastructure containing at least one of a virtual machine comprising an application, a Domain Name System (DNS) Agent, and a firewall. The method may comprise requesting, by the application, network address information via a DNS server for a fully qualified domain name (FQDN); intercepting, by the DNS Agent, data packets containing the DNS Server query response; decoding, by the DNS Agent, the DNS query response, and identifying the network address information; and updating a security rule of the firewall, by the DNS Agent, based on the decoded network address information. The method may be implemented to update the security rules of application firewalls across an organization's cloud-based infrastructure.
