Method and system for mapping between connectivity requests and a security rule set

摘要

A system capable of automated mapping between a connectivity request and an ordered security rule-set and a method of operating thereof. The system includes an interface operable to obtain data characterizing at least one connectivity request; a module for automated recognizing at least one rule within the rule-set, the rule controlling traffic requested in the at least one connectivity request, wherein the recognizing is provided by comparing a set of combinations specified in the connectivity request with a set of combinations specified in the rule and matching connectivity-related actions specified in the connectivity request; a module for automated evaluating relationship between traffic controlled by the recognized at least one rule and traffic requested in the at least one connectivity request; and a module for automated classifying, in accordance with evaluation results, the at least one connectivity request with respect to the at least one rules and/or vice versa.
