Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automatic firewall configuration based on aggregated cloud managed information. A cloud management device can determine, based on security event data received from a first set of client computing environments, that a security attack detected on at least one client computing environment from the first set of client computing environments is likely to occur on other client computing environments. In response to determining that the security attack detected on at least one client computing environment from the first set of client computing environments is likely to occur on other client computing environments, the cloud management device can identify a second set of client computing environments to protect from the security attack. For each client computing environment from the second set of client computing environments, the cloud management device can configure firewall settings to protect from the security attack.
