Method and apparatus for assigning access control levels in providing access to networked content files

摘要

A method and apparatus for assigning access control levels when providing access to networked content files includes a client node, a policy sensor, a collection agent, and a policy engine. The client node requests access to a resource. The policy sensor detects the request for access to the resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client node. The policy engine receives an identification of the client node from the policy sensor and receives the gathered information and assigns one of a plurality of levels of access responsive to application of a policy to the received information.
