Abstract

A method and system for generating filters based on analyzed flow data are disclosed. A method generally comprises separating the data into different network flows, analyzing at least one of the network flows, and detecting potentially harmful network flows. A filter is generated to prevent packets corresponding to the detected potentially harmful network flows from passing through the network device.
