Abstract
A server of a distributed computing system that is at least partially hosted on a particular access network receives a plurality of messages from a plurality of devices over a network, each of the messages associated with a corresponding source address. For each of the plurality of devices, a current access network is determined for the device. For each of the devices with a current access network being the particular access network, a first network policy is applied to the device. For each of the devices with a current access network being other than the particular access network, a second network policy is applied to the device, the second network policy defining a second encryption requirement.
