1. A method for providing a first secure network connection to a mobile communications device, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at a server, a request for a first secure network account from the mobile communications device;

    generating, at the server in response to the received request and for the mobile communications device, the first secure network account for the first secure network connection, the generated first secure network account including first credentials for the first secure network connection;

    transmitting, by the server, the first credentials to the mobile communications device;

    receiving, by the server, the first credentials from the mobile communications device;

    in response to receiving the first credentials from the mobile communications device, establishing, by the server, the first secure network connection between the server and the mobile communications device;

    identifying, by the server, a trigger based on an analysis of network traffic over the first secure network connection; and

    when a first level of security offered by the first secure network connection does not match a second level of security associated with the trigger in a secure network connection policy;

    terminating the first secure network connection;

    deleting the first credentials and the first secure network account;

    generating at the server a second secure network account for a second secure network connection, the generated second secure network account including second credentials for the second secure network connection;

    transmitting, by the server, the second credentials to the mobile communications device; and

    establishing, by the server in response to receiving the second credentials from the mobile communications device, the second secure network connection between the server and the mobile communications device.
