Patent number: 11622047Abstract: A system and method that allows for information relating to data and communication resource usage to be gathered and analyzed such that particular data transactions and usage of network accessible software applications can be classified based on purpose and/or type. Further, the system and method provide reporting based on amount of usage and/or purpose or type of usage so that associated costs and usage can be calculated applied and allocated to particular accounts, divisions, groups or individuals within and outside of a company or entity. Further, the system may disable features of or access to network accessible software applications based on lack or use, limited use or other metrics that fall outside of threshold ranges or values.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Tangoe US, Inc.Inventors: Jaan Leemet, Angela Saldana, Christopher J. DeBenedictis, Paul Schmidt, Albert R. Subbloie, Jr.

Patent number: 11372994Abstract: A security program installed or in communication with a computer is provided. The security program is configured to intercept disk (I/O) operations that read/write from/to disk. This allows the security program to confirm and control access to data based on security rules. Further, the security program can categorize data based on security rules and then format and store data on disk in a format that prevents access by application(s) of the computer. The security program is further configured to re-format data to be accessible by the application in a format accessible by the application(s) when a request to access the data complies with security rules.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Tangoe US, Inc.Inventors: Jaan Leemet, Paul Schmidt
