Abstract: In an example embodiment, a technique that applies a network policy responsive to specified events, or triggers, to a networked device. If a specified event occurs, the network policy may restrict the device's access to the network. For example, if a user walks away from their networked device, such as a laptop, the device's network access changes. For example, depending upon the policy, network traffic may be blocked or otherwise restricted.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising an interface configured to communicate with at least one external device, and processing logic coupled with the interface. The processing logic determines whether the interface is connected directly to a predefined network. The processing logic restricts access to the interface responsive to determining the interface is connected to a network other than the predefined network. The processing logic does not restrict access to the interface while the interface is directly connected with the predefined network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for redirecting network traffic include a policy server configured to be in communication with a policy database and a client disposed on a remote device. The policy server is configured to receive an inquiry from the client regarding a universal resource locator (URL) request and, based on a policy obtained from the policy database, cause the client to control the remote device such that network traffic associated with the URL request is routed (tunneled) via a particular interface, e.g., a virtual private network (VPN) connection, when so required by the policy, and network traffic associated with the URL request is routed over a different VPN connection or a non-VPN connection when so required by the policy.

Abstract: A method, and computer program product for providing dynamically tunneling over an unreliable protocol or a reliable protocol based on network conditions is presented. A connection between a source device and a destination device is established using a reliable protocol. An attempt is then made to utilize an unreliable protocol to communicate between the source device and the destination device. When the attempt to utilize an unreliable protocol is successful, then the unreliable protocol is used to transmit data between the source device and the destination device. When the attempt to utilize the unreliable protocol is unsuccessful, then the reliable protocol connection is used to transmit data between the source device and the destination device.

Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for receiving an event message, identifying event information required to process event data based on the event message, based on the event information, determining if existing event information is accessible to process the event data and if the existing event information is not accessible, providing an event rejection indicating missing event information and receiving the missing event information identified in the event rejection but if the existing event information is not accessible, providing an event rejection indicating missing event information and receiving the missing event information identified in the event rejection.
