Abstract: Various systems and methods for caching and tiering in cloud storage are described herein. A system for managing storage allocation comprises a storage device management system to maintain an access history of a plurality of storage blocks of solid state drives (SSDs) managed by the storage device management system; and automatically configure each of a plurality of storage blocks to operate in cache mode or tier mode, wherein a ratio of storage blocks operating in cache mode and storage blocks operating in tier mode is based on the access history.

Abstract: In an example, there is described a server apparatus, comprising: a network connection; and one or more logic elements, including at least a processor and a memory, comprising a mobile device management (MDM) engine to: instruct an MDM agent to register a mobile security posture event; receive from the MDM agent an instance of the mobile security posture event; construct a policy decision responsive at least in part to the mobile security posture event; and enforce the policy decision.

Abstract: In an example, a system and method for real-time mobile security posture updates is provided. A mobile device management (MDM) agent may run on the mobile device, and may register with the operating system one or more mobile security posture change events that may affect the mobile security posture. These may include, for example, installation of an MDM agent, uninstallation of a program, connecting to a secured or unsecured network, or similar. When any such event occurs, the OS lodges the event with the MDM agent, which then communicates with an MDM server engine to potentially receive new security instructions. Lodging the event may include providing a joint user-and-device authentication to the MDM server, such as via SAML.

Abstract: In an example, a system and method for predictive user authentication is disclosed. The system may include proximity sensors, computer vision systems, and other provisions for monitoring users' movements throughout a facility. A predictive security engine may also be programmed with heuristic data to recognize such factors as a user's face, gait, or average appearance. When a user approaches a terminal, the system may preemptively compute a confidence score regarding the user's authenticity. Based on the confidence score, the system will determine how much additional authentication is necessary. The system may also provide context-sensitive data to the user based on location or activities. Thus, authentication to the system is made easier to the user, and the user receives more relevant data for his or her activities.
