DETECTION OF NETWORK ENVIRONMENT FOR NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL

A method and apparatus for detection of network environment to aid policy selection for network access control. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a request to connect a device to a network and, if a security policy is received for the connection of the device, applying the policy for the device. If a security policy for the connection of the device is not received, the domain of the device is determined by determining whether the device is in an enterprise domain and determining whether the device is in a network access control domain, which allows selection of an appropriate domain/environment specific policy.
