Network access control based on risk factor

摘要

A networking device based on risk factors is provided. The device includes a first communication interface, connected to a first LAN and a second LAN respectively; a second communication interface, connected to a network; a control module, electrically coupled to the first communication interface and the second communication interface respectively, wherein a user terminal has a network communication with the control module via the network, and the control module calculates a risk factor with respect to the user terminal, and determine connecting the user terminal to either the first LAN or the second LAN according to the risk factor; particularly, the first LAN and the second LAN could be VLAN respectively.

1. A networking device, comprising:
a first communication interface coupled to a first local area network (LAN) and a second LAN, the second LAN being different from the first LAN; a second communication interface coupled to a virtual private network via a virtual private network server, the virtual private network being different from the second LAN and the first LAN, wherein a user terminal connects to the virtual private network via a network communication application executing on the user terminal; and a control module electrically connected to the first communication interface and the second communication interface, wherein the user terminal performs a network communication with the control module via the virtual private network, wherein the control module determines a risk factor of the user terminal according to metadata received from a risk factor application executing on the user terminal, and wherein the control module determines whether to connect the user terminal to the first LAN or to the second LAN according to the risk factor of the user terminal.
