Michael: I have a customer that I log into their network with Citrix. They scan my pc to make sure I have a firewall, antivirus, and that my Windows updates are all installed. They even use my own antivirus to scan my memory for viruses before allowing me access. If I pass, I get in. Otherwise, I am told what I need to fix to get in.
