Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 is an overview of an exemplary communication system according to the present invention, in which a wireless communication device 100 (with optional wired connection port 40) may be used. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that there are hundreds of different system topologies. There may also be message senders and receivers. figure 1 The simple exemplary system shown is illustrative only, and generally represents the most current Internet email environment.

[0019] figure 1 An email sender 10, Internet 12, message server system 14, wireless gateway 16, wireless infrastructure 18, wireless network 20, and mobile communication device 100 are shown.

[0020] For example, the email sender 10 may be connected to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) located within the company on which the system user has an account, the ISP may be connected to a local area network (LAN) and connected to the Internet 12, or through services such as AOL TM (AOL)'s l...

Abstract

A mobile wireless communication device (100) also has at least one wired communication port (40). Enhanced security is achieved by permitting the device to automatically disable one or more wireless ports (102) when connected to a wired port. Specific combinations / permutations of such automatic control may be effected by use of an IT Policy also resident on the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, method, and stored computer program medium that achieve improved communication network security for wired and wireless communication networks interfacing with devices capable of communicating with either type of network. Background technique [0002] Many modern wireless mobile communication devices also include a wired connection port, which can be used to connect to a wired network. There may also be multiple wireless communication ports available (eg, conventional radio frequency (RF), bluetooth, infrared (eg, irda), etc.). If these wired and wireless communication ports are connected to different networks at the same time, the device may pose a security threat (eg, due to potential gateways between networks having different security levels). For example, wired networks are generally considered to have a higher level of security associated with them than wireless networks. [0003] It is also possible...
