A method for controlling the connection of a workstation to a server so as to allow its access when a token/workstation validation process is successfully completed, and to prevent or discontinue the connection of the workstation to the server when a token/workstation validation process fails to identify an authorized user, comprises: a) providing a firewall coupled to, or integral with, a communication gate located between the workstation and the server; b) providing user/workstation validation means suitable to determine whether the user is physically located within a predefined distance from the workstation; c) validating the user to the firewall; and d) disallowing access to one or more resources of the workstation if the user is not validated or, if the security policy so requires, transmitting to the firewall a command to disconnect the workstation from the server. |
