Disclosed are approaches for a launcher application with connectivity detection for shared mobile devices. In some examples, among others, a management service component, a client device component, an enterprise environment component, or other connectivity endpoints associated with a plurality of applications can be identified. At least one response to requests transmitted to the connectivity endpoints can be received. A mode of connectivity can be determined based on the response. An application which is launchable in the mode of connectivity can be launched in an instance in which a selectable representation for the application is selected in a user interface.

Launcher application with connectivity detection for shared mobile devices

Disclosed are various examples for kernel level application data protection. In one example, a security label and a list of permitted applications are received. The security label is utilized to limit access to files that embed the security label. A security label map is written within a kernel layer of the client device. The security label map includes the security label and the list of permitted applications. A secured file is generated by embedding the security label within a file stored on the client device.

Kernel level application data protection

Disclosed are various examples for kernel level application data protection. In one example, a security label map is written to a kernel layer. The security label map includes a security label and a list of permitted applications for files originated by a protected application. A file access system call is intercepted by kernel-level management instructions. An application identity is identified for an application requesting to access a secure file. Access to the secured file is permitted or denied based on a comparison of the application identity with the list of permitted applications.
