📈 Firewall Activity Trends

Visual Analysis

Request Patterns Over Time

The firewall activity chart shows consistent network traffic patterns over the past 30 days with all requests being allowed. The trend indicates stable, expected communication patterns with no suspicious or blocked activity. Traffic volume remains relatively consistent, suggesting normal operational behavior.

Top Allowed Domains by Frequency

The domain frequency analysis reveals that GitHub Copilot API endpoints dominate network traffic, followed by GitHub's main API and npm registry. This distribution is expected and appropriate for AI-powered workflows that interact with GitHub services and Node.js package management.

🔍 Detailed Analysis

Allowed Domains Breakdown

All network traffic during this period targeted legitimate services:

Domain	Requests	Purpose	Status
api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com:443	57	GitHub Copilot API	✅ Allowed
api.github.com:443	20	GitHub REST API	✅ Allowed
registry.npmjs.org:443	12	NPM Package Registry	✅ Allowed
github.com:443	7	GitHub Web Services	✅ Allowed

Domain Purpose Analysis

GitHub Copilot Services (api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com:443)

• 59.4% of total traffic
• Purpose: AI model inference and Copilot agent operations
• Status: Critical service - appropriate access level

GitHub API Services (api.github.com:443)

• 20.8% of total traffic
• Purpose: Repository operations, issue management, workflow data
• Status: Essential for GitHub integration - appropriate access level

NPM Registry (registry.npmjs.org:443)

• 12.5% of total traffic
• Purpose: Node.js package installation and dependency resolution
• Status: Standard development dependency - appropriate access level

Blocked/Denied Traffic Analysis

🟢 No Blocked Traffic Detected

During the 7-day analysis period, zero requests were blocked or denied by the firewall. This indicates:

1. Well-configured network permissions: Workflows have appropriate domain allowlists
2. No unauthorized access attempts: No suspicious or malicious traffic detected
3. Operational stability: Firewall not causing workflow disruptions

Historical Context

Looking at the 30-day trend data (800 total requests across all historical runs):

• Total denied requests (all time): 0
• Denied request rate: 0%
• Trend: Consistently clean traffic with no blocking events

This sustained pattern suggests:

• Robust firewall configuration
• Well-scoped workflow network requirements
• No security incidents requiring traffic blocking

💡 Recommendations

Network Permission Recommendations

✅ Current Configuration Assessment

Status: Firewall configuration is working optimally with no issues detected.

The current allowlist configuration appropriately permits:

1. GitHub Copilot API access for AI operations
2. GitHub API access for repository and issue management
3. NPM registry access for Node.js dependencies
4. GitHub web services for standard operations

🔒 Security Posture

Overall Rating: 🟢 Excellent

• No unauthorized access attempts detected
• All traffic aligns with expected workflow operations
• Firewall successfully isolates workflows while permitting necessary services
• Zero false positives (no legitimate traffic blocked)

📋 Monitoring Guidelines

Continue monitoring for:

1. Traffic volume spikes: Sudden increases may indicate issues or attacks
2. New domain requests: Any denied requests should be reviewed for legitimacy
3. Pattern changes: Shifts in domain distribution could signal workflow modifications
4. Blocked traffic: Any future blocked requests require immediate investigation

🎯 Action Items

No immediate actions required. Current configuration is optimal.

Future considerations:

• Monitor for any workflow changes that might require additional domain access
• Review firewall logs if new workflows with firewall protection are added
• Continue daily reporting to maintain visibility into network activity patterns

🔐 Security Verdict

Status: 🟢 SECURE - No Issues Detected

Summary: The firewall protection is functioning correctly across all analyzed workflows. All network traffic is legitimate and appropriately allowed. No security concerns identified during this reporting period.

Confidence Level: High - Based on 19 workflow runs with comprehensive firewall logging
