A method for managing access to network resources by a first network device may include establishing a communication session with the first network device. The method may also include receiving information from the first network device during the communication session, the information indicating that the first network device is not in compliance with at least one security-related rule. The method may further include determining whether to modify access by the first network device to at least one of the network resources based on the received information.

Dynamic access management for network security

An application programming interface (API) presents services of a system to applications. The API is usable with all processes, local and remote, and is transparent with respect to the location of processes. A process table stores information about processes created using the system. The process table supports centralized process control and peer-to-peer process communication and synchronization. Each process is assigned a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) that uniquely identifies the process no matter the computing device on which it runs. A parent UUID and a group UUID may be attached to the process and used for enforcing dependencies (e.g., for halting the process and all of its child processes) and for managing arbitrary, user-defined groups, respectively. A global event is associated with each process. When a process receives this event, it performs a controlled shutdown, cleans up, and reports status.
