Abstract
An application profile specifies server groups, components, and computing flows among the server groups and components. Each computing flow may be identified as malicious or not malicious. Firewall rules are generated based on the computing flows. The firewall rules are distributed to a server group. According to the firewall rules distributed to the server group, data that is malicious is directed to another server for quarantine.
