A remote access client is provided for enabling communication between a remote data terminal configured to access a public network, and an enterprise network by way of a VPN tunnel through the public network. The remote access client includes at least one application program interface (API) to receive a first verification of the operating state of a predetermined application of the remote data terminal to enable a connection agent for establishing a point of presence on the public network. Upon connection to the point of presence, the API exchanges data between the remote access client and the predetermined application of the remote data terminal. The remote access client receives a second periodic verification of the operating state of the predetermined application via the API for terminating the connection to the point of presence upon the absence of the second verification. The point of presence enables the VPN tunnel for transporting data from the remote data terminal to the enterprise network across the public network.

Client-side network access policies and management applications

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.
