Ask HN: Is IP whitelisting still “a thing”, and why?

1 pointsby netfortiusalmost 3 years ago
In the quest to get up to speed on latest trends, I was very surprised to find an organization asking for a well developed (assumed maintainable and scalable) IP whitelisting process, when just a little while ago, when I took my sabbatical, we were way into either:<p>- WAF&#x2F;UTM to protect everything public facing (who could possibly certify consistency and maintainability of source IPs?)<p>and&#x2F;or<p>- JSON produced sets of IPs, from large service provider, &quot;installed&quot; on edge devices (FWs)<p>and&#x2F;or<p>- FQDNs, with verifiable name résolution, where no other solution was possible, to still narrow down sources,<p>and no longer IPs.<p>Is anyone still using IP whitelisting? Why? And how do you lifecycle such (MACDs)?
