  • System and method for managing access for trusted and untrusted applications
    Patent number: 9503460
    Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes identifying a network location of an endpoint, which is attempting to initiate an application; identifying whether the endpoint is operating in an enterprise environment; determining whether the application is trusted based on metadata associated with the application; and provisioning a tunnel for data traffic associated with the application. In more detailed implementations, the tunnel can be provisioned if the application is trusted and the endpoint is outside of an enterprise environment. In addition, the tunnel can be provisioned if the application is untrusted and the endpoint is within an enterprise environment.
