Abstract: Systems and methods for securely managing data in a client-server application environment are provided. According to a method for securely managing data in the client-server environment, a network connection of a client device is monitored. It is determined when one of a plurality of IP addresses is accessed by the client device, and a process ID of the application (web browser, thin-client, etc.) used to access the accessed IP address is sent to a client application. A criteria is created based on the process ID, and the criteria is sent to a file system driver for controlling access of the client device to information from the IP address.
