Abstract
A device processes a communication between a source and user equipment. The user equipment is one of a plurality of user equipment connected to a network and the user equipment is associated with an entity. The device determines that the communication is associated with an anomalous traffic pattern. The device implements a provisional blocking of traffic between the source and the plurality of user equipment connected to the network and generates a filtering rule based on determining the anomalous traffic pattern, where the filtering rule prescribes that traffic between the source and the second user equipment is to be blocked. The device transmits a notification to the entity associated with the user equipment that requests that the entity affirm the filtering rule, and the device blocks traffic between the source and the user equipment based on the entity affirming the filtering rule.
