Abstract
Method and apparatus for peer-to-peer compliancy validation in secure managed networks. Embodiments may provide a peer compliancy mechanism that may augment compliancy control conventionally implemented on one or more trusted servers. Embodiments may enable nodes seeking admission to a secure managed network to communicate with a trusted node or nodes on the secure managed network for at least some compliancy functions including, but not limited to, health validation and remediation, thus reducing the load and reliance on central compliancy servers in the secure managed network.
