A technique for microsegmentation includes receiving information related to hosts and applications operating in a network where the information was obtained based on a survey of the network; identifying a plurality of microsegments utilizing the information, each microsegment includes a set of hosts similar to one another; for each of the plurality of microsegments, identifying security policies that control access to hosts in each microsegment; and providing the plurality of microsegments and corresponding security policies for approval thereof.

Semi-automatic communication network microsegmentation

A computer system automatically generates a proposal for network application security policies to be applied on a telecommunications network. The system provides output representing the proposed network application security policies to a user. The user provides input either approving or disapproving of the network application security policies. If the user approves, then the system applies the of the proposed microsegmentation. This process may be repeated for a plurality of hosts and subsets thereof within the same network, and may be repeated over time to modify one or more existing network application security policies. The network application security policies govern inbound and outbound connections to the hosts in the network.
