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 this week

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.
