FirewallPK: Security tool for centralized Access Control List management

Abstract

This paper aims to present a centralized Access Control List management application, named FirewallPK. Our solution offers a scalable implementation that automates network decisions when different potential security attacks are detected over a large network infrastructure. To this end, our application monitors real-time network traffic and installs Access Control Lists on the controlled routers. Moreover, it allows distributed policies configuration. The application was built using the Cisco One Platform Kit framework that is currently being standardized.
