Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a computerized device management framework that adaptively determines and applies security and configuration parameters to a device on a first network, and enables the adaptive application of such parameters as the device disconnects and connects to other networks. The disclosed framework enables the automatic detection of different networks being relied upon by the device for access to the Internet, upon which, management control policies of the device's activities can be controlled and managed in a unified manner. Accordingly, the disclosed framework can enable security and configuration mechanisms applied on a first network, upon which they are associated, to be seamlessly applied on another disparate network via a virtual private network connection enabled via proprietary mechanisms implemented on the device.
