Abstract

Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to control a security state associated with one or more network node(s) using a master heuristic policy enforcement module associated with a network firewall, and to selectively re-direct first packets to the network firewall from a remotely manageable network controller located within the network node(s) based upon the security state.
