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: Policy is provided 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. Policy can also be provided 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. Access to a data server by a mobile device can be controlled, 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.

Abstract: A system and method for securing data in mobile devices includes a computing node and a plurality of mobile devices. A node security program executed in the computing node interfaces with a device security program executed at a mobile device. The computing node is responsible for managing the security based on a node security profile interpreted by a node security program executed in the computing node. A device discovery method and arrangement also detects and locates various information about the mobile devices based on a scan profile.

Abstract: A system and method for securing data in mobile devices (104) includes a computing mode (102) and a plurality of mobile devices (104). A node security program (202) executed in the computing node (102) interfaces with a device security program (204) executed at a mobile device (104). The computing node (102) is responsible for managing the security based on a node security profile (208) interpreted by a node security program (202) executed in the computing node (102). A device discovery method and arrangement (106) also detects and locates various information (120) about the mobile devices (104) based on a scan profile (206).
