  • Patent number: 11843509
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modernizing workspace and hardware lifecycle management in an enterprise productivity ecosystem are described. In some embodiments, a client Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory, the memory having program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the client IHS to: receive, from a workspace orchestration service, one or more files or policies configured to enable the client IHS to instantiate a first workspace based upon a first workspace definition; allow a user to execute a non-vetted application in the first workspace; determine that the first workspace is compromised; and receive, in response to the determination, from the workspace orchestration service, one or more other files or policies configured to enable the client IHS to instantiate a second workspace based upon a second workspace definition, where the second workspace definition allows execution of a vetted application corresponding to the non-vetted application.

  • Patent number: 11750654
    Abstract: Embodiments provide access to enterprise data via a secured virtual environment hosted on an Information Handling System (IHS), with the integrity of the IHS validated prior to launching the virtual environment. The integrity of the IHS may also be continuously validated during operation of the launched virtual environment. Policies for accessing the enterprise data are stored in a secured memory that is isolated from the operating system of the IHS. A virtual environment is configured, according to the policies, with resources for a particular user to access the enterprise data. If the integrity of the IHS is validated by a trusted resource on the IHS, the virtual environment is launched. During operation of the virtual environment, the trusted resource periodically confirms the integrity of the IHS. If the integrity of the IHS is not verified or policy changes are identified, access to the secured workspace may be revoked.

  • Publication number: 20230229458
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that support configuration of settings of an Information Handling System (IHS), such as by external configuration tools that are delegated authority to configure any portion of the configurable settings of IHS. During factory provisioning of the IHS, an inventory of configurable settings of the IHS is generated and permissions are assigned for configuration of a portion of the configurable IHS settings by a configuration tool. During the factory provisioning, credentials are stored to the IHS for authenticating communications from the assigned configuration tool. Once the IHS has been delivered and deployed, configuration of the assigned portion of IHS is allowed when configuration requests from the assigned configuration tool are successfully validated against the credentials stored to the IHS during factory provisioning. The configurable settings of the IHS may include BIOS settings, operating system settings and settings supported by hardware components of the IHS.

  • Patent number: 11595322
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing self-contained posture assessment from within a protected portable-code workspace are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory having program instructions that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: transmit, from an orchestration service to a local agent, a workspace definition that references an application, where the application comprises a first portion of code provided by a developer and a second portion of code provided by the orchestration service; and receive, from a local agent at the orchestration service, a message in response to the execution of the second portion of code within a workspace instantiated based upon the workspace definition. The second portion of code may inspect the contents of the runtime memory of the workspace upon execution, for example, by performing a stack canary check, a hash analysis, a boundary check, and/or a memory scan.

  • Patent number: 11522883
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and handling workspace indicators of compromise (IOC) based upon configuration drift are described. In some embodiments, a memory storage device may have program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors of an Information Handling System (IHS) of a workspace orchestration service, cause the IHS to: receive configuration information from a client IHS at a workspace orchestration service, where the configuration information represents a change in a configuration of a workspace executed by the client IHS, and where the workspace is instantiated based upon a workspace definition provided by the workspace orchestration service; determine, by the workspace orchestration service, that the configuration information matches an IOC; and transmit, from the workspace orchestration service to the client IHS, an instruction to perform an action responsive to the IOC.

  • Patent number: 11509603
    Abstract: Systems and methods adjust workspaces based on available hardware resource of an IHS (Information Handling System) by which a user operates a workspace supported by a remote orchestration service. A security context and a productivity context of the IHS are determined based on reported context information. A workspace definition for providing access to a managed resource is selected based on the security context and the productivity context. A notification specifies a hardware resource of the IHS that is not used by the workspace definition, such as a microphone or camera that has not been enabled for use by workspaces. A productivity improvement that results from the updated productivity context that includes use of the first hardware resource is determined. Based on the productivity improvement, an updated workspace definition is selected that includes use of the first hardware resource in providing access to the managed resource via the IHS.
