Abstract
A method, system, and computer-implemented method to manage blacklists used for mitigating network traffic is provided. The method includes monitoring a first blacklist and a second blacklist, wherein the first blacklist is used by a first mitigation process applied to network traffic that is performed upstream along a communication path of the network traffic relative to a second mitigation process that is performed using the second blacklist. The method further includes moving at least one entry from one of the first and second blacklists to the other of the first and second blacklist based on a result of the monitoring.
