A system for enabling communication between a first domain and a second domain is disclosed. At least the first domain is protected by a firewall. A first data-processing system is provided in the first domain and a second data-processing system provided in second domain. The second domain hosts an application that the first domain desires to access. To enable the communication between the two domains a tunnel is established through the firewall. The tunnel runs from the first data-processing system to the second data-processing system. The second data-processing system provides a web-proxy interface to interface to the application and also acts as a tunnel gateway.

Framework for communicating across a firewall

A method and apparatus are provided for network security based on a security status of a device. A security update status of a device is evaluated; and one or more of a plurality of security policies are selected to apply to the device based on the security update status. The available security philosophies may include, for example, a 'protect the good' philosophy, an 'encourage the busy' philosophy and a &#x201c;shut off the non-compliant&#x201d; philosophy. The security update status can evaluate, for example, a version level of one or more security features installed on the device or can be based on a flag indicating whether the device satisfies predefined criteria for maintaining one or more computer security protection features up-to-date.

Method and apparatus for network security based on device security status

A technique is disclosed for detecting hidden wireless routers that constitute security threats in telecommunications networks that comprise a wireless network portion and a wireline network portion. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the invention, a test station is used in the wireless portion of a network to detect the presence of a hidden wireless router. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a test server is used in the wireline portion of the network in order to detect packets that are illegitimately routed from the wireless portion to the wireline portion of the network through the hidden wireless router.
