Key takeaways
- Use classification to separate internal and public addresses.
- Review ASN and ISP data before making network rules.
- Use reports to document operational decisions.
Logs need translation
Network logs often contain IP addresses but little context. A lookup can explain whether an address is public, who operates it, and whether it has risk indicators.
Rules should be based on context
Before blocking, allowlisting, or escalating an address, IT teams should understand classification, provider, ASN, and business impact.
TraceIP supports repeated review
Dashboard history, reports, and API access help teams make IP review part of their normal operational workflow.
