  • Publication number: 20240143319
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for determining a version of an application for a user to access based at least in part an overall posture of the user and the device launching the application. An application can support multiple delivery mechanisms to allow a user different ways to access the service provided by the application. A posture level (e.g., level of risk, level of compliance) associated with the overall posture of a device and user accessing an application is determined. The posture level can be used to select which version of the application should be launched by the device in order to provide the best experience for the user while ensuring that security is considered.

  • Patent number: 11750656
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing secure access to an email server. A gateway server can receive a request for email notification information from a notification server and parse the request to identify at least one user device associated with the request. The gateway server can then determine whether the identified devices comply with any applicable compliance rules, for example by requesting a compliance status from a management server at which the identified devices are enrolled. If at least one of the identified devices is in compliance, the gateway can pass the request through to the email server. The gateway can then receive a response from the email server and provide it to the notification server.

  • Patent number: 11444932
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for single-sign on by way of managed mobile devices. For example, an identity provider service can receive a request for an identity assertion from an email client executed in a client device. The identity provider service can then detect a platform associated with the client device. The device and the user's identity can be authenticated so that an IT administrator can specify that only authorized devices can access email using the email client.
