Disclosed are system and method for determining and forming a list of update agents for a plurality of network terminal nodes connecting with at least one server in a network. One exemplary method comprises: receiving, by at least one network terminal node of the plurality of network terminal nodes, at least one unique identifier assigned by the server to the at least one network terminal node; broadcasting in the network the at least one unique identifier by the at least one network terminal node; collecting data relating to the at least one network terminal node and other network terminal nodes broadcasting in a same broadcasting domain of the network; and transmitting the data to the server for determining and forming a list of update agents for the same broadcasting domain of the network.

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for configuring application control rules. An example method includes, in response to testing a new application control rule, transmitting, from each of a plurality of computing devices in a network, information relating to software applications deployed on each computing device and one or more application control rules including the new application control rule associated with the software applications, each of the one or more application control rules having a priority, the collected information identifying at least one conflict between at least one application control rule and the new application control rule in executing one of the software applications; and receiving, by at least one of the plurality of computing devices, the new application control rule reconfigured with a lower priority to eliminate the at least one conflict.

System and method for resolving conflicts between application control rules

A system for a dynamic adjustment of expiration date of an authorization key, the system comprising: a security product that will be installed on a predetermined number of computers. The administration key allows a use of the software product on the predetermined number of computers during a predetermined period of time. The plurality of authorization units purchased from a vendor that are the smallest increments of time that a duration period of the authorization key is measured in. The expiration date for all the computers can be updated at any time, depending on the number of computers on which the software is installed at any given time. The administration server determines a beginning and an ending date of a functionality of the authorization key for the security product. The data base receives and stores the beginning and the ending date of the functionality of the authorization key for the security product. The communication means that send the beginning and the ending date of the functionality of the authorization key to the software product. The expiration date of the authorization date dynamically changes when the number of computer on which the product is installed increases or decreases.

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for configuring application control rules. The system creates a new application control rule that specifies restrictions or permission on execution a software application, a function of an application or a category of applications. The system then collects information about one or more computers in a network, including information about software applications deployed on the computers and existing application control rules. The system then tests the new application control rule using the collected information to determine verdicts rendered by the new application control rule that restrict or permit execution of an application, certain function of an application or a category of applications. The system then compares verdicts rendered by the new application rule with the verdicts rendered by the existing application control rules to identify conflicting rules, and reconfigures the new application control rule to eliminate conflicts.

System and method for automatically configuring application control rules

A system and method for testing and optimization of updates. An update is received by a test module, which selects a testing environment and determines a testing period. The test module tests the update in the testing environment and provides the test results to an analyzer module. The analyzer module determines the feasibility of the update installation based on a set of feasibility rules. If the update is deemed feasible, the update is added to the list of the updates for installation and provided to an installation module for installation on computer systems.

System and method for processing updates to installed software on a computer system

An administration system and methods for mobile security and other software applications operating on mobile devices in a corporate network. The administration system comprises an administration server, administration database and administration console. To facilitate integration of mobile applications into the administration system, each mobile application is provided with an associated administration console plug-in component. The administration plug-in component provides a set of user interfaces for configuring via the administration console application configuration settings specific to the one or more associated mobile applications. In addition, the plug-in component provides web interfaces, such as SOAP interfaces, for communicating application-specific configuration settings to the associated mobile applications. Accordingly, the administration system enables rapid and highly concurrent installation, configuration, updating, and patching of various mobile applications without modifying infrastructure of the administration system.
