Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a system and method for providing multi-factor authorization for IEEE 802.1x-enabled networks. Specifically, a network device authenticates a client device to obtain access to network resources in a network via a network authentication protocol. The network device then detects a device quarantine trigger indicating an increased level of suspicion that a current user of the client device is a non-authenticated user. In response to the device quarantine trigger, the network device temporarily places the client device from an authenticated state to a quarantined state pending completion of a particular workflow by the current user. The client device has limited access to the network resources while in the quarantined state regardless of a previous successful user and/or device authentication.
