  • Patent number: 8874706
    Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for quarantining an out of compliance client device from other client devices on a network. Quarantining the out of compliance client device prevents the out of compliance device from corrupting other client devices on the network. For example, in operation, embodiments of the present invention involve: (1) receiving identification and location information for an out of compliance client device; (2) running a tool that utilizes the identification and location information to access the out of compliance device; (3) using the tool to modify the out of compliance device such that the out of compliance client device broadcasts a request for configuration information to which a network server is programmed to respond with configuration information associated with an isolated network; and (4) using the tool to cause the out of compliance client device to logout of the network.

  • Patent number: 8868693
    Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for changing an out of compliance client device into a client device that is in compliance utilizing a compliance tool. In some embodiments of the invention the compliance tool identifies the location of the out of compliance client device, determines why the client device is out of compliance, brings the client device into compliance, and modifies the client device to allow it to access the network. In other embodiments of the invention the compliance tool is a compliance agent, wherein at a least a part of the compliance agent is uploaded on the client device. The compliance agent periodically checks the client device to determine if the client device has been brought into compliance, and when it is brought into compliance the compliance agent modifies the client device to allow it to access the network, and is then uninstalled from the client device.
