Abstract
Systems and computer program products are provided for dynamically defining network access control rules. A placeholder for a parameter of an interface to an endpoint such as a data processing system or virtual machine may be provided in a network access control rule, instead of a static parameter. The parameter may be dynamically determined, by a firewall or a hypervisor for example, and the placeholder may be replaced with the dynamically determined parameter.
