  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Patent number: 11241105
    Abstract: An adjustable fish-supporting photographic rack assembly particularly well-suited for temporarily supporting a catch of fish in a highly organized manner during the taking of a photograph or digital image thereof includes a main panel body having a front surface, a rear surface, and a periphery defined by contiguous upper, lower, left and right peripheral edges. A pair of main panel supports includes respective integral depressions sized and shaped to conform to opposite lower corners of the main panel body for snugly receiving and retaining the lower corner portions therein, effectively supporting the main panel in an upright vertical orientation. At least one structural feature integrated into the front surface of the main panel body is configured to correspondingly receive at least one hook-receiving structure for selectively coupling a fish-supporting hook member thereto.
