Abstract
Example methods and systems for score-based dynamic firewall rule enforcement in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment. One example method may comprise in response to detecting a first request to access a first resource, identifying a first score associated with the user, and a firewall rule that is applicable to the user based on information associated with the user. The firewall rule may be applied to allow access to the first resource. The method may further comprise adjusting the first score to a second score that represents a more restrictive access level compared to the first score. In response to detecting a second request to access the first resource, applying the firewall rule to block the second request based on the second score.
