Abstract
A network address translation device or similarly situated network device can cooperate with endpoints on a subnet of an enterprise network to secure endpoints within the subnet. For example, the network address translation device may be configured, either alone or in cooperation with other network devices, to block traffic from a compromised endpoint to destinations outside the subnet, and to direct other endpoints within the subnet to stop network communications with the compromised endpoint.
