Abstract
The present invention includes a system, method, and device for providing secure operating environments for computer systems. In one form, a method for providing a secure operating environment for a network accessible system is disclosed. The method includes accessing a delay timer having a delay time interval operably coupled to a communication module. The delay time interval may be compared to activity operably associated with the system communicating with the network. The communication module may be enabled in response to the comparison and in one form may be isolated if the communication port remains idle for a time period greater than the delay time interval.
