Abstract
A remote network device having a network security policy, includes: a firewall component embedded within the network device to filter data flow with a network; a user-defined network security policy for the firewall component to define constraints on data flows permitted by the network device; and a failsafe protocol to enable remote control of the device independent of the user-defined network security policy and the firewall filter.
