Abstract
Controlling access to a protected network is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more events that occur will a host is disconnected from the protected network are logged. The log is provided to one or more devices associated with the protected network when the host requests access to the protected network after a period in which it was not connected. In some embodiments, a network access control or other device or process uses the log to determine whether and/or an extent to which the host should be permitted to connect to the network.
