Is there a CLI (API) option that will allow to lock/unlock multiple servers?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

There are servers in the DMZ (facing the outside world). These servers get their updates and packages from the Satellite server. If a server is compromised - we do not want to allow the blackhat to install compilers, nmap and other evil tools on the server. So to make it more difficult I would like a way to run a cli command to lock all servers (at least 50) until the time when we need to patch the servers. At that time we could run another unlock cli.
