Systems and methods may generally be used to automatically curate a blocklist of internet protocol (IP) addresses. An example method may include using risk factor scores for a particular IP address that was blocked by a traffic control component to determine whether to add the particular IP address to a blocklist. The example method may include, in response to a determination to add the particular IP address to the blocklist, generating an IP address entry in the blocklist for the particular IP address, the IP address entry optionally including a corresponding time-based expiration. The example method may include outputting the blocklist or the IP address entry, such as in response to a request from a firewall.

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of determining network segmentation. The innovation can search a network to determine a set of network entities, the network entities belonging to the network, and determine network factors of each network entity in the set of network entities. The innovation can evaluate each network factor and determine segmentation candidates based on the evaluation of each network factor. The innovation can determine a risk ranking for each network factor for each network entity and aggregate each risk ranking into a segmentation score for each network entity. The innovation can determine a segmentation candidate when a network entity segmentation score satisfies a threshold score. The innovation can generate a sub-network that is part of the network for the segmentation candidate, and transfer the segmentation candidate to the sub-network.
