MOBILE VPN AUTOSTART THROUGH APP-ONLY MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137343 titled 'MOBILE VPN AUTOSTART THROUGH APP-ONLY MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for auto-starting a VPN in a MAM environment. A MAM-controlled application is launched on a computer system, and based on policy, a determination is made to auto-start a VPN application. The VPN application then initiates a VPN tunnel that is usable by at least the MAM-controlled application, allowing network communications to pass through the VPN tunnel.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- MAM-controlled application launched on a computer system - Policy queried to determine auto-starting VPN application - VPN application auto-started based on policy - VPN tunnel initiated for network communications to pass through
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in enterprise environments where secure communication is essential, such as in healthcare or finance industries.
Problems Solved
The technology solves the problem of ensuring secure network communications for MAM-controlled applications in a convenient and automated manner.
Benefits
- Enhanced security for network communications - Simplified management of VPN connections - Improved compliance with security policies
Potential Commercial Applications
"Secure Network Communication Solutions for Enterprises"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to auto-starting VPN applications in specific environments, but the specific combination of MAM-controlled applications and VPN auto-starting based on policy may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the technology handle potential conflicts with other security measures in place on the computer system?
The article does not address how the technology interacts with existing security protocols or software that may already be running on the computer system.
Are there any limitations to the types of VPN applications that can be auto-started using this technology?
The article does not specify if the technology is compatible with all types of VPN applications or if there are any restrictions based on the specific VPN protocols used.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for auto-starting a vpn in a mam environment are disclosed. a mam-controlled application is launched on a computer system. policy is queried and a determination is made as to whether to auto-start a vpn application based on the policy. based on the policy, the vpn application is auto-started, and the vpn application initiates a vpn tunnel that is usable by at least the mam-controlled application. network communications transmitted to or from the mam-controlled application then pass through the vpn tunnel.
