Abstract
Automatically validating a firewall rule for provisioning in a computer system. One or more firewall rules for provisioning on a server is received from a user device. Based on predefined firewall rules, whether to approve one or more of the firewall rules and deny one or more of the firewall rules is determined. Responsive to determining that one or more of the firewall rules are denied, additional validation of one or more of the firewall rules that are denied are performed. A firewall rule learning engine is updated with a result of the additional validation. Based on the result of the additional validation, the firewall rule learning engine updates the predefined firewall rules. One or more of the firewall rules that are approved on the server may be provisioned.
