摘要:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for mobile application security classification and enforcement. In particular, the present invention includes a method, a mobile device, and a distributed security system (e.g., a “cloud”) that is utilized to enforce security on mobile devices communicatively coupled to external networks (i.e., the Internet). Advantageously, the present invention is platform independent allowing it to operate with any current or emerging mobile device. Specifically, preventing malicious applications from running on an end user's mobile device is challenging with potentially millions of applications and billions of user devices; the only effective way to enforce application security is through the network that applications use to communicate.
摘要:
Mobile device security, device management, and policy enforcement are described in a cloud based system where the “cloud” is used to pervasively enforce security and policy and perform device management regardless of device type, platform, location, etc. A cloud based method for mobile device security, device management, and policy enforcement includes, responsive to configuring the mobile device for connectivity to the cloud system, monitoring data between the mobile device and the external network, wherein the cloud system connects to the mobile device independent of a type, platform, or operating system associated with the mobile device; analyzing the data in real-time in the cloud system thereby not impacting performance of the mobile device; and controlling exchange of the data, in the cloud system, between the mobile device and the external network based on the analyzing.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to cloud based mobile device management (MDM) systems and methods to use the “cloud” to pervasively manage mobile devices. The cloud based MDM systems and methods provide an ability to manage mobile devices with or without MDM clients while no requiring an MDM appliance or service at the enterprise. This provides a “no hardware, no software” deployment. In an exemplary embodiment, a client-less implementation leverages the ActiveSync protocol proxied through distributed cloud nodes to enforce mobile policies. In another exemplary embodiment, a client-based implementation uses a platform specific application and associated application programming interfaces (API) to connect managed mobile devices and provide MDM features through the cloud. Advantageously, the cloud based MDM systems and methods provide reliability and resiliency, elasticity, lower cost, mobility, integration of management and security, and agility over conventional MDM based solutions.
摘要:
A multi-tenant cloud-based firewall method from a client, performed by a cloud node, includes receiving a packet from the client, wherein the client is located externally from the cloud node; checking if a firewall session exists for the packet, and if so, processing the packet on a fast path where a lookup is performed to find the firewall session; if no firewall session exists, creating the firewall session; and processing the packet according to the firewall session and one or more rules. The cloud node can perform the method without a corresponding appliance or hardware on premises, at a location associated with the client, for providing a firewall.
