ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are disclosed for monitoring activity of a user on a network component, such as an end user computer, in a virtual private network for adherence to a security enforcement provision or policy utilized in the virtual private network. A method of determining whether a security provision in a computer network has been violated is described. It is determined whether the network component has violated, modified or circumvented a security enforcement provision of the computer network. If the detection is affirmative, the network component, such as an end user system, is modified in a manner in which the computer network operates at a level appropriate to the degree of the violation, modification, or circumvention of the security enforcement provision. If instructed to do so, a third party operating the virtual private network is notified of the violation and access to the network by the network component is restricted or terminated. A security enforcement distributed system consists of an agent module on the end user computer and a collector module for receiving data from the agent on a security server computer coupled to a data repository. Also on the security serer are a policy inspector for checking compliance with a security provision and a notifier and access control module for informing the network operator of a violation and restricting access by the end user system to the security server.
