20100212012 | Systems and Methods for Providing Real Time Access Monitoring of a Removable Media Device - In various embodiments, a method comprises detecting a removable media device coupled to a digital device, authenticating a password to access the removable media device, injecting redirection code into the digital device, intercepting, with the redirection code, a request for data, determining to allow the request for data based on a security policy, and providing the data based on the determination. The method may further comprise selecting the security policy from a plurality of security policies based, at least in part, on the password and/or filtering the content of the requested data. Filtering the content may comprise scanning the data for malware. Filtering the content may also comprise scanning the data for confidential information. | 08-19-2010 |
20120117651 | Malicious Mobile Code Runtime Monitoring System and Methods - Protection systems and methods provide for protecting one or more personal computers (“PCs”) and/or other intermittently or persistently network accessible devices or processes from undesirable or otherwise malicious operations of Java TN applets, ActiveX™ controls, JavaScript™ scripts, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, downloaded/uploaded programs or other “Downloadables” or “mobile code” in whole or part. A protection engine embodiment provides for monitoring information received, determining whether received information does or is likely to include executable code, and if so, causes mobile protection code (MPC) to be transferred to and rendered operable within a destination device of the received information. An MPC embodiment further provides, within a Downloadable-destination, for initiating the Downloadable, enabling malicious Downloadable operation attempts to be received by the MPC, and causing (predetermined) corresponding operations to be executed in response to the attempts. | 05-10-2012 |
20120278862 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTO-MARKING, WATERMARKING, AUDITING, REPORTING, TRACING AND POLICY ENFORCEMENT VIA E-MAIL AND NETWORKING SYSTEMS - A method for tracking the routing of an electronic document, including embedding a unique identifier within an electronic document and monitoring e-mail messages transmitted from senders to recipients, for detection of e-mail messages having the electronic document embedded therewithin or attached thereto, based on the unique identifier. A system and computer readable storage medium are also described and claimed. | 11-01-2012 |
20130219457 | System and Method for Providing Network Security to Mobile Devices - A small piece of hardware connects to a mobile device and filters out attacks and malicious code. Using the piece of hardware, a mobile device can be protected by greater security and possibly by the same level of security offered by its associated corporation/enterprise.
