Abstract
A method and system for optimizing network access control are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving an access request to a network from a device. Then, the method determines if each one of one or more critical updates of said device is current and if each one of one or more non-critical updates of the device is current. The method concludes by granting the access request to the network if each one of the one or more critical updates of the device is current, even if at least one non-critical update of the one or more non-critical updates of the device is not current.
