==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.
