A system for securing electronic files on a network by restricting access to only authorized users, monitoring use of remote work stations and embedding scalable self executing applets within the electronic files which may cause one of a variety of remedial actions when accessed improperly. To access a particular file, an end user must first (74) successfully power up (78) the remote workstation by using a unique code (82) which must be verified by a power supply component (80) . Thereafter, the end user must pass through a series of validation points before accessing the network (84). The network (84) then monitors and grants permission for each secured activity initiated by the user while using the remote workstation on the network. If the user fails to follow predetermined operating practices, the network (84) has the ability to remove and lock out the offending user from the network (84) and thereby remove his access (90) to files protected by the network. |
