Workflow Template: Automated Workload Quarantine on Security Event

Automatically quarantine threatening IPs when Illumio error events exceed a configured threshold, with policy provisioning and Slack alerts.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The "Automated Workload Quarantine on Security Event" workflow template is designed to enhance network security by automatically quarantining IPs that trigger error-severity events in Illumio. This workflow identifies and groups events by source IP, applying quarantine measures to those exceeding a set threshold. It creates IP blocklists, applies quarantine labels to affected workloads, and enforces deny-all security rules. All policy changes are provisioned in one operation, with a summary sent to a designated Slack channel, ensuring swift and efficient threat containment.
