ABSTRACT:
Security sensor data from intrusion detection system (IDS) sensors, vulnerability assessment (VA) sensors, and/or other security sensors is used to enhance the compliancy determination in a client compliancy system. A database is used to store the security sensor data. In one particular embodiment, a list of device compliance statuses indexed by corresponding identifiers (e.g., IP/MAC addresses) combined from IDS, VA, and/or other security sensing technologies is made available as a non-compliance database for query, so that clients and other compliancy authentication elements can tell that a particular client appears to be out of compliance. A client-side self-policing compliance system is enabled, and can be used in conjunction with automated endpoint compliance policy configuration to reduce system administrator burden.
