Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for discovering and identifying client devices that attempt to access out-of-policy network services via a secure web gateway (or other network security gateway) that lacks visibility into the client network actual IP space. This is a common problem with cloud hosted SWG services that enforce access policy from outside of a customer network (e.g., external to an enterprise network), due to network address translation at the interface between the customer network and the public Internet where the cloud-hosted SWG resides. The teachings hereof address this problem. In one embodiment, a cloud hosted SWG can redirect a client to a bouncer device inside the customer network; that bouncer device can capture the actual client IP address.

Abstract: A method and a system for accessing through a second mobile telecommunication network to services offered by a first mobile telecommunication network comprising the steps of: establishing a first communication channel with the second network, based on a secondary SIM card; establishing a second communication channel with the first network using the first communication channel, wherein a user of the mobile communication device is authenticated using a primary SIM card; registering, through the second communication channel, the user of the mobile communication device into the first network using the information stored in the primary SIM card; and accessing from the mobile communication device to services offered by the first network through the second communication channel.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a simplified login for mobile devices. In aspects, on a first logon, a mobile device asks a user to enter credentials and a PIN. The credentials and PIN are sent to a server which validates user credentials. If the user credentials are valid, the server encrypts data that includes at least the user credentials and the PIN and sends the encrypted data to the mobile device. In subsequent logons, the user may logon using only the PIN. During login, the mobile device sends the PIN in conjunction with the encrypted data. The server can then decrypt the data and compare the received PIN with the decrypted PIN. If the PINs are equal, the server may grant access to a resource according to the credentials.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a seamless automatic connection to an (e.g., corporate) network is made for a client device. Upon detecting a need for a connection to a network, such as by intercepting a communication directed towards a network destination, a list of available connection methods is automatically obtained based on the device's current location data (e.g., LAN or remote) and policy information. An available connection method from the list is selected, e.g., in order, and an attempt is made to establish a connection via that connection method. If the attempt fails, another attempt is made with a different connection method, and so on, until a connection method succeeds. Additional seamlessness from the user's perspective is provided via a credentials vault, by which stored credentials may be retrieved and used in association with the access method being attempted.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention make the issuance of trustworthy device claims available to client devices as a service, so that a client device to which device claims are issued may use the device claims in relation to an attempt to access a network application. The service may conduct an assessment of the device's characteristics and/or state, characterize the results of this assessment in device claims, and issue the device claims to the device. The service may be accessible to a client device from outside administrative boundaries of an entity that makes a network application accessible, and thus may be useful to entities making network applications accessible in business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) topologies, such as over the publicly accessible Internet.

Abstract: The method comprises creating a single point in a communication flow, by a first farm load balancer, that both communication sessions requested by a client server A and a client server B at a network layer will pass through; creating stickiness based on said communication session requests and creates a bi-directional affinity by correlating the communication session requests of different sessions and maintaining a correlation mapping.

Abstract: The method of delegating authentication, within a chain of entities, relies upon a recording of at least a portion of a TLS handshake between a gateway device and user, in which the user needs access to a desired server. The method then relies upon re-verification of cryptographic evidence in the recorded portion of the TLS handshake, which is forwarded either (1) to the server to which access is desired, in which case the server re-verifies the recorded portion to confirm authentication, or, (2) to a third party entity, in which case the third party entity confirms authentication and provides credentials to the gateway server which then uses the credentials to authenticate to the server as the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for accessing at least one resource hosted by at least one server of a cloud service provider. In some embodiments, a client computer sends authentication information associated with a user of the client computer and a statement of health regarding the client computer to an access control gateway deployed in an enterprise's managed network. The access control gateway authenticates the user and determines whether the user is authorized to access the at least one resource hosted in the cloud. If the user authentication and authorization succeeds, the access control gateway requests a security token from a security token service trusted by an access control component in the cloud and forwards the security token to the client computer. The client computer sends the security token to the access component in the cloud to access the at least one resource from the at least one server.

Abstract: A security system collects an audit trail on a computer outside of a boundary created by one or more virtual machines. The security system uses a privileged virtual machine to collect audit logs for each protected virtual machine. As the protected virtual machines run, they send auditing information to the privileged virtual machine. The privileged virtual machine can collect auditing information from protected virtual machines much more quickly than a network server, as well as collecting auditing events from multiple protected virtual machines. Because the auditing destination is located on the same computer as the virtual machine monitored by the audit trail, no network dependency is present. Thus, the security system allows for monitoring the activity of administrators and other users while preventing tampering with the audit trail of each user's actions.

Abstract: In a virtualization environment, a host machine on which a guest machine is operable is monitored to determine that it is healthy by being compliant with applicable policies (such as being up to date with the current security patches, running an anti-virus program, certified to run a guest machine, etc.) and free from malicious software or “malware” that could potentially disrupt or compromise the security of the guest machine. If the host machine is found to be non-compliant, then the guest machine is prevented from either booting up on the host machine or connecting to a network to ensure that the entire virtualization environment is compliant and that the guest machine, including its data and applications, etc., is protected against attacks that may be launched against it via malicious code that runs on the unhealthy host machine, or is isolated from the network until the non-compliancy is remediated.
