Notable Patterns:

• Peak activity on 2025-12-01 with 2,172 requests
• Average requests per day: 318
• No blocked traffic indicates well-configured network permissions

✅ Allowed Domains

The following domains are successfully accessed by workflows with firewall protection:

1. api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com:443
2. api.github.com:443
3. github.com:443
4. registry.npmjs.org:443

Analysis:

• All domains are legitimate services (GitHub API, Copilot, npm registry)
• No suspicious or unexpected domains detected
• Network permissions properly configured for CI/CD operations

🚫 Blocked Domains

Status: No domains were blocked during the analysis period.

This is a positive indicator that:

• ✅ Firewall rules are properly configured
• ✅ Workflows have appropriate network permissions
• ✅ No unauthorized network access attempts detected

🔍 Security Insights

Network Access Patterns

1. GitHub Enterprise Copilot API (api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com:443)

   • Primary AI service endpoint
   • Critical for agentic workflow execution
   • ✅ Consistently allowed

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

   • Repository and workflow management
   • Required for GitHub Actions integration
   • ✅ Consistently allowed

3. GitHub Web (github.com:443)

   • Web-based operations and content access
   • Used for specific workflow tasks
   • ✅ Consistently allowed

4. npm Registry (registry.npmjs.org:443)

   • JavaScript package management
   • Required for dependency installation
   • ✅ Consistently allowed

Security Posture

• 🟢 Excellent - All requests to legitimate services approved
• 🟢 No security incidents - Zero unauthorized access attempts
• 🟢 Proper configuration - Network permissions align with workflow requirements

💡 Recommendations

Current Status: No Action Required ✅

The firewall analysis shows optimal configuration with no issues to address. Continue monitoring to maintain this security posture.

Best Practices Being Followed:

1. ✅ Minimal Network Access - Only essential domains are accessed
2. ✅ Secure Endpoints - All connections use HTTPS (port 443)
3. ✅ Legitimate Services - No suspicious or unnecessary domains
4. ✅ Consistent Behavior - Stable access patterns over time

Future Considerations:

• Monitoring: Continue daily firewall reports to detect anomalies early
• Alerting: Consider setting up alerts if denied requests exceed threshold
• Documentation: Document approved domains for team reference
• Review: Periodic review of network permissions (quarterly recommended)

📋 Summary

Over the past 14 days, the firewall feature has successfully protected 350 workflow runs while maintaining 100% availability for legitimate network requests. The configuration demonstrates a well-balanced approach to security and functionality.
