Abstract
An approach for managing a connection to or from a device is presented. Connections of the device are identified. Based on the connections, the device is determined and classified based on security zones to which the device is or has been connected, a quality of service requirement for one or more applications within the device, or a level of information technology service management for the device. Whether an existing or proposed connection of the device is consistent with the classification of the device is determined, and if not, an indication is displayed or a notification is sent that the existing or proposed connection is inconsistent with the classification of the device.
