Abstract: This invention provides secure, policy-based separation of data and applications on computer, especially personal computers that operate in different environments, such as those including personal applications and corporate applications, so that both types of applications can run simultaneously while complying with all required policies. The invention enables employees to use their personal devices for work purposes, or work devices for personal purposes. The secure, policy-based separation is created by dividing the data processing device into two or more “domains,” each with its own policies. These policies may be configured by the device owner, an IT department, or other data or application owner.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining whether an electronic computing device complies with the security policy for a network.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for managing a plurality of disparate computer application and data control policies on a computing device, especially a computing device connected to a computer network, are described. In one example, at least one policy distribution point is provided that includes least one policy distribution point including at least one information management policy. A plurality of policy enforcement points, including a first policy enforcement point operating at a first policy enforcement level, and a second enforcement point operating at second policy enforcement level, are also provided. A first policy element to the first policy enforcement point, and a second policy element to the second policy enforcement point, are allocated.

Abstract: A policy proxy intercepts a data stream between a data server and a user or other device, identifies the user device, and identifies a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the user device based on the identity of the user device. The policy proxy may identify one or more of the policy elements based on the user device, and translate the policy elements into actions involving the data stream between the data server and the user device so as to implement at least one aspect of the identified policy. The actions can comprise permitting normal exchange of data between the data server and the user device, preventing communication between the data server and the user device, or modifying the data stream between the data server and the user device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for managing access to a network resource on a network from a mobile device, the method including the steps of intercepting a data stream from the mobile device attempting to access the network resource, extracting information from the intercepted data stream relating to at least one of the mobile device or a user of the mobile device, accessing at least one of enterprise service based information and third party information regarding at least one of the mobile device or the user of the mobile device, determining whether the mobile device is authorized to access the network resource, preparing an access decision that specifies whether the mobile device is authorized to access the network resource, and storing the access decision in a database on the network.

Abstract: The invention relates to providing policy from an integrated policy server to a mobile device, comprising identifying a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device and supplying policy elements to policy transports for transmission to the mobile device. The invention also relates to providing policy from an integrated policy server to a mobile device, including identifying a policy in the integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device, determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with the policy, and supplying policy elements to policy transports for transmission to the mobile device when the mobile device is not in compliance with the policy. The invention further relates to controlling access to a data server by a mobile device, including identifying a policy in an integrated policy server applicable to the mobile device, and determining whether the mobile device is in compliance with the policy.
