Abstract
A host computer system may be configured to connect to a network. The host computer system may be configured to implement a workspace, an isolated computing environment, and a host-based firewall. The host computer system may be configured to isolate the isolated computing environment from the workspace using an internal isolation firewall. The internal isolation firewall may be configured to prevent data from being communicated between the isolated computing environment and the workspace, for example, without an explicit user input. The host computer system may be configured to determine, using one or more environmental indicators, a relative location of the host computer system. The processor may be configured to select a firewall policy based on the relative location of the host computer system. The firewall policy may include a configuration to apply to one or more of the internal isolation firewall or the host-based firewall.
