Abstract

See full text

A network controller device, systems, and methods thereof are described herein for enabling a mechanism of assigning network policies to one or more users based on their respective client reputation (CR) scores. CR scores indicate a measure of the level and kind of network activity that an internal resource does with external resources. Based on the evaluation of the CR score for a given user, system of the present invention can be configured to implement an appropriate policy on the user that controls the manner in which the user interacts within and outside the network. Proposed system includes multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs), wherein each VLAN is configured with a defined policy such that once the CR score for a given user has been evaluated, the user can be put on an appropriate VLAN based on the evaluation and the intended policy that the system wants the user to follow.
