1. A computer-implemented security system, comprising:
- a set of security profiles that provides communications security for a multi-homed device, the security profiles associated with connections from which data packets can be received; and
a security component for automatically selecting and applying security profiles in response to receiving data packets from multiple connections.

Abstract
Architecture that creates and applies a virtual firewall profile for each network to which a multi-homed device is connected. In one implementation, the virtual profiles can be based on address ranges of the networks. This ensures seamless concurrent connectivity of the multi-homed device to multiple networks.
