FIELD

The present application generally relates to network security, and more particularly, to providing access to a network.

BACKGROUND

Computing devices often request access to a network. In bring-your-own device (BYOD) environments or internet of things (IOT) environments, unknown or untrusted computing devices may pose a risk to the network. For example, computing devices may not be fully patched, may not have up-to-date antivirus software, unmodified anti-malware software, or may have other indicators that could compromise the network.

It would be advantageous to be able to safely evaluate the health of a computing device before allowing the computing device to access the network.
