Abstract

A system and method for mitigating security vulnerabilities of a computer network by detecting a management status of an endpoint computing device attempting to authenticate to one or more computing resources accessible via the computer network includes: detecting an authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device to the computer network; during the authentication attempt, collecting management status indicia from the endpoint computing device, wherein the management status indicia comprise data used to determine a management status of the endpoint computing device; using the management status indicia to identify the management status of the endpoint computing device and identifying the management status of the endpoint computing device; and controlling access to the computer network based on (a) whether the authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device is successful and (b) the identified management status of the endpoint computing device.
