Hi

Say we have a small LAN with all the basic protections (firewall, virus
software, etc.).

Now, if we need to connect a laptop that is not ours (say, belonging to a
business partner or an employee), I'm wondering what is a common approach
out there in terms of securing these outside devices. If they only need
internet connection, should they be isolated on separate LAN ?

On the other hand, if these laptops are ours and are set up to connect to
our domain everyday, would there be rules when used outside of our domain ?
What are the common ways to ensure security for laptops using, say, at home
network (or other company's network) and at office network ?

Thanks
Steve

Ours are.

Possibly.

Security as in...? If you mean viruses, trojans, etc. then keep your
critical updates and av software updated. If you mean login
seciurity, passwords on the laptops for both on and off domain
profiles would be mandatory.
