Abstract
In some embodiments, techniques for protecting a network may include detecting an insecure condition on a first host that has connected or is attempting to connect to a protected network, including contacting a trusted computing base and determining whether a response includes a valid digitally signed attestation of cleanliness (an attestation that the first host is not infested and/or that the presence of a patch or patch level of a software component on the first host); if not, quarantining the first host, including by re-routing a service request sent by the first host by responding with a redirect that causes a browser on the first host to be directed to a quarantine server configured to serve a quarantine notification page that provides remediation information; and permitting the first host to communicate with a remediation host configured to provide data usable to remedy the insecure condition.
