Abstract
A new approach to network security includes manipulating an access point (215) such that an initial communication from an external device (230) is passed to a restricted subset (205) of a computing network (200) including a gatekeeper (225). The gatekeeper is configured to enforce a security policy (330A) against the external device before granting access to a less-restricted subset (210) of the computing network. If requirements of the security policy are satisfied, then the gatekeeper reconfigures the access point such that further communication from the external device may be received by elements of the less-restricted subset. Enforcement of the security policy optionally includes performing a security audit of the external device.
