SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO NETWORK RESOURCES

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling access to a computer network. An example network access controller is configured to intercept data transmission to or from a computer and identify a network access policy associated with said computer. If there is no network access policy associated with said computer, the controller deploys on said computer an administration agent configured to collect configuration information from said computer and information about topology of said network. The controller determines a network access policy for said computer based on the collected information. The controller also activates antivirus software on said computer, to detect any malicious activity on said computer. If malicious activity is detected, the controller limits data transmissions to or from said computer until the malicious activity is eliminated by the antivirus software to prevent spread of the malicious activity to other computers in the network.
