Abstract

A network security system including a first-level security profile engine and a second-level security profile engine is disclosed. In an example of operation, the first-level security profile engine assigns a first-level security profile for a first user device, the first user device requesting access to a network; the second-level security profile engine assigns a first second-level security profile to the first user device, the first second-level security profile providing first network configuration information for the first user device; a device selection engine receives a selection of a second user device associated with the first-level security profile; and the second-level security profile engine assigns a second second-level security profile to the second user device, the second second-level security profile providing second network configuration information for the second user device. A device network configuration engine can then configure the first user device to access the network based on the first network configuration information.
