Abstract: A method and/or system for agent-based establishment of secure connection between endpoints and cloud servers is disclosed wherein a deployment information is received at an agent controller comprising information of endpoint and a cloud server for establishing secure connection and monitoring. The endpoint is registered by the agent controller by generating a unique key and authenticating the endpoint using the installed agent causing establishment of dedicated secure channel between the endpoint and the cloud server over a computer network. The connected endpoint may be monitored by the agent controller to collect data and any anomaly may be detected based on the collected data and the detected anomaly may be resolved by the agent controller.

Abstract: Steering an authentication request to a determined authentication device based on a correlation between a user equipment (UE) identity and an authentication device is disclosed. The authentication request comprises an updateable subscriber identity. The authentication request can be associated with the UE identity, which can be correlated to an authentication device as a result of a prior authentication event. The updateable subscriber identity can have been updated during the prior authentication event, such that the authentication device has record of the updated subscriber identity. Therefore, the authentication device can to perform an authentication based on the updated subscriber identity while other authentication devices lacking record of the updated subscriber identity would be unable to perform the authentication. The disclosed subject matter can be operable with existing deployed authentication systems with little to no modification of those systems.
