Abstract
A method for quarantining a node from other nodes in a network is described. A node is scanned to obtain a health posture of the node by determining if the node is compliant with one or more requirements. A current policy in accordance with the obtained health posture of the node is obtained. A previous policy is removed. If the node is determined to be non-compliant, a key that is unique to the non-compliant node is selected. The current policy is applied.
