Abstract
A method in an access control server of controlling access to an enterprise network includes: receiving, at the access control server from a client computing device outside the enterprise network, a request to establish a connection between the client computing device and an enterprise server in the enterprise network; at the access control server, responsive to receiving the request, obtaining a security attribute of the enterprise server from a central repository outside the enterprise network; determining, based on the security attribute, whether the enterprise server meets a predefined security threshold; and when the enterprise server does not meet the predefined security threshold, denying the request to establish a connection between the client computing device and the enterprise server.
