Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a track-mounted vehicle includes at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: obtain information on a path to be followed by the track-mounted vehicle; obtain information on at least one characteristic affecting movement control of the track-mounted vehicle; determine a position of a control point in relation to the track-mounted vehicle based on the at least one characteristic; and control movement of the track-mounted vehicle based on the path and the control point, wherein the control point is configured to be aligned with the path to cause the track-mounted vehicle to follow the path.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing a dynamic virtual private network (VPN) connection of an endpoint device using locally-stored encrypted VPN profiles. The endpoint device comprises a VPN client configured to establish a secure connection with a computer via a network, an encrypted datastore for storing the encrypted VPN profiles, and a security agent for monitoring a security compliance status of the endpoint device with a security policy stored on the endpoint device. In response to detecting a change in the security compliance status of the endpoint device, the security agent copies VPN profiles from the encrypted datastore to a storage location accessible to the VPN client. The VPN client is configured to use the copied VPN profiles to securely connect to the computer. Periodic update requests from the security agent to an administrative server enable updated VPN profiles or security policies to be downloaded and stored in the encrypted datastore.
