Method and system for securing a computer having one or more network interfaces connected to an insecure network

摘要

The present invention relates to an improved system and method for securing a computer having at least one network interface connected to an insecure network when the computer is not utilizing the insecure network, which includes the steps of building an array of at least one network interface including a unique identifier for uniquely identifying each at least one network interface and a status associated to each unique identifier for indicating the status of the unique identifier, determining whether the computer is active, turning off the insecure network when it is determined that the computer is inactive, turning on the network when it is determined that the computer is active, and waiting for a predefined time period to repeat from the step of determining whether the computer is active.
