  • Patent number: 9092605
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for securing network access. One method includes operations for granting a user access to remote computer resources after authenticating a login request from the user sent from a secured computer device, and for receiving a network access request from a network access device to allow the user access through the network access device. A network access granted message is sent to the network access device when the user currently has been granted access to the remote computer resources, where the secured computer device performs periodic authentication operations to validate an identification of the user based on biometric data taken of the user. Further, the method includes operations for receiving notification from the secured computer device that one of the authentication operations has failed, and for sending a network access denied for the user to the network access device in response to the notification.

  • Patent number: 9081980
    Abstract: A method for managing data use of an enterprise is disclosed. The method includes receiving login parameters from a user associated with user identification information. The method authenticates the login parameters and the user information to determine if the login parameters match the user identification information. The method provides access to specific data in a database that stores enterprise information. Upon providing access, initiating video capture of a viewing space for the screen, the viewing space being configured to include a location where the user associate with the user identification information is predefined to reside when accessing the specific data. During the video capture, capturing image data presented on the screen and input received for the user interface of the screen. The method acts to bind the video capture and the captured image data presented on the screen and the input received.
