Methods and systems are provided for fine tuning access control by remote, endpoint systems to host systems. Multiple conditions/states of one or both of the endpoint and host systems are monitored, collected and fed to an analysis engine. Using one or more of many different flexible, adaptable models and algorithms, an analysis engine analyzes the status of the conditions and makes decisions in accordance with pre-established policies and rules regarding the security of the endpoint and host system. Based upon the conditions, the policies, and the analytical results, actions are initiated regarding security and access matters. In one described embodiment of the invention, the monitored conditions include software vulnerabilities.

Methods and systems for controlling access to computing resources based on known security vulnerabilities

A computer-implemented method and apparatus prevents unsecured access to a computer over a network by a client running on a remote computer. In one aspect of the present invention, a client policy is stored on the remote computer. The client policy includes a configuration of the remote computer that reduces the likelihood of a security breach of the computer as a result of the remote computer accessing the computer. A request is received from a user for access to the computer. It is verified that the remote computer conforms with the client policy, and the client is connected to said computer.
