Abstract
Enforcing a policy is described. A mapping between an IP address of a device and a user identity is identified, at least in part by correlating event information. A policy is applied to the device based at least in part on the user identity. One example of an event is an access to a mail server, such as an access to a Microsoft Exchange server.
