Fragility handling
First Claim
1. A method of handling failures in a computer system including a compliance checking system in a computer network, the method comprising computer-implemented acts of:
- (A) in response to a client computer failing to obtain a compliance check, determining a category of an error that at least partially caused the failure to obtain the compliance check; and
(B) performing an action at least partially based on the determined category of the error.

Abstract
A method is provided for handling failures in a computer system including a compliance checking system in a computer network. In response to a client computer failing to obtain a compliance check, a determination is made as to a category of an error that at least partially caused the failure in obtaining the compliance check. As a result, the method includes performing an action to at least partially based on the determined category of the error. In some instances, the action can include allowing the client computer to connect to the network. Another method includes receiving a definition of a configurable mitigation rule, where the configurable mitigation rule describes an action to perform at least partially based on the category of an error. Yet another method includes receiving a selection of a security level of operation of the compliance checking system.
