Assignee:

APPTHORITY, INC. - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 1

Abstract:

Techniques for off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices includes receiving a software inventory for a mobile device, in which the software inventory identifies a plurality of applications installed on the mobile device; and determining whether one or more of the plurality of applications identified in the software inventory are associated with malware based on a policy. In some embodiments, the off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices further includes enforcing the policy on the mobile device. In some embodiments, the off-device anti-malware protection for mobile devices is provided as a cloud service.

US Classification:

726 11

Abstract:

Techniques for in-line filtering of insecure or unwanted mobile components or communications (e.g., insecure or unwanted behaviors associated with applications for mobile devices (“apps”), updates for apps, communications to/from apps, operating system components/updates for mobile devices, etc.) for mobile devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, in-line filtering of apps for mobile devices includes intercepting a request for downloading an application to a mobile device; and modifying a response to the request for downloading the application to the mobile device. In some embodiments, the response includes a notification that the application cannot be downloaded due to an application risk policy violation.
