  • Publication number: 20230401299
    Abstract: Device access control can be implemented on a protected device to determine, based on a user input to the device, that a timeout threshold has been exceeded and to cause, in response to determining that the timeout threshold has been exceeded, an application graphical user interface (GUI) on the device to remove or blank content, such as text, images, or graphics, from the application window. The removal or blanking of the content can be performed on a window-by-window basis; that is, content is removed only from application windows of applications that are protected by an associated application protection policy. In some examples, the application protection policy can be established by an administrator of a digital workspace within which the protected application executes. Such a digital workspace can be implemented via a type of virtual processing environment that can be accessed via client computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11838362
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering data for cluster computing are described herein. A worker device may receive a dataset and store the dataset in a local storage media. This may prevent the need for the dataset to be sent over a network each time the applications are used to perform a task. Each application may be able to access the dataset in the local storage area. This may prevent the need to copy the dataset to memory associated with each application. A worker device may store a dataset, for example, if it determines that the frequency of updates to the dataset satisfy a threshold. The worker device may receive updates to the dataset via a messaging system and may store the updated data in the local storage media.
