Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced electronic asset protection are described. One aspect of one described embodiment includes receiving an indication to activate asset protection, the client device having a local data store; and activating asset protection in response to the indication, wherein asset protection comprises disabling the local data store and disabling the client device. In another embodiment, a computer-readable medium (such as, for example random access memory or a computer disk) includes code for carrying out such a method.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and displaying performance metrics are described. One aspect of one described embodiment includes receiving performance metrics associated with a plurality of network connections to a plurality of networks, each of the plurality of network connections associated with a client device; determining a status of one of the plurality of networks based at least in part on the performance metrics; and providing the status of the one of the plurality of networks to a user interface.

Abstract: Systems are methods for enhanced network client security are described. One aspect of one embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a security-related policy associated with a user, determining a security model associated with the security-related policy, and applying the security model to a network connection on a client device. One aspect of another embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a first measure associated with a usage characteristic, the usage characteristic associated with a user, receiving a second measure associated with the usage characteristic, comparing the first measure and second measure, and determining the likelihood that an unauthorized access has occurred based at least in part on the comparison.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced network access are described. One aspect of one described embodiment includes receiving a request to connect to a network, the request associated with a user, determining a policy associated with the user, identifying at least one available network connection, determining at least one property of the at least one available network connection, evaluating the property based at least in part on the policy, and selecting the at least one available network connection based on the evaluation. In another embodiment, a computer-readable medium (such as, for example random access memory or a computer disk) includes code for carrying out such a method.

Abstract: Methods and systems for securely requesting, retrieving, sending, and storing files. One aspect involves receiving a request for a file from a client device that identifies a user and the client device, encrypting the file using a session key based at least in part on the user and the client device, and transmitting the encrypted file to the client device. Other aspects of the invention include storing the encrypted file on the client device in encrypted form such that the file may only be decrypted or accessed by the particular user on that particular client device.
