Abstract
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.
