Systems, methods, and software can be used for securing in-tunnel messages. One example of a method includes establishing a tunneling connection between a server and an endpoint. The method further includes receiving a packet from the server over the tunneling connection. The method yet further includes determining that the packet comprises a tunneling control message based on at least one address in the packet. Based on the determination of a received packet comprising a tunneling control message, the method can ensure the security of in-tunnel messages based on an indication in the tunneling control message.

Secured in-tunnel messages and access control

A method for managing software on a device is provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a third party associated with the device, by a software administrator of an organization different from the third party, release information regarding software versions for the device; creating, by the software administrator, a profile that specifies whether or not at least one of the software versions is allowed on the device; and transmitting the profile, by the software administrator to a server computer associated with the third or other parties, to promote enforcement of the profile for the device.

System and method for restricting system and application software available for installation on a managed mobile device

Portable electronic devices typically have reduced computing resources, including reduced available bandwidth to receive communications. A method, apparatus and system is provided to manage packet delivery to electronic devices to mitigate some of these problems.
