Implementing rules in firewalls

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
• identifying at least one rule associated with performing at least one first operation on a first type of data traffic that satisfies at least one first condition;
• causing multiple firewalls to implement the at least one rule, a first firewall among the multiple firewalls implementing at least one application-specific rule in addition to the at least one rule, the at least one application-specific rule being associated with performing at least one second operation on a second type of data traffic that satisfies at least one second condition;
• and
• deploying the multiple firewalls between multiple applications and at least one network, the first firewall being deployed between a first application among the multiple applications and the at least one network.

A method comprising:

• identifying, by one or more processors of a computing device, at least one rule associated with performing at least one first operation on a first type of data traffic that satisfies at least one first condition;
• causing, by the one or more processors, multiple firewalls to implement the at least one rule, a first firewall among the multiple firewalls implementing at least one application-specific rule in addition to the at least one rule, the at least one application-specific rule being associated with performing at least one second operation on a second type of data traffic that satisfies at least one second condition;
• and
• deploying, by the one or more processors, the multiple firewalls between multiple applications and at least one network, the first firewall being deployed between a first application among the multiple applications and the at least one network.
