Systems and methods for managing behavior in a virtual collaboration session. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive engagement metrics from a participant of a virtual collaboration session, wherein the engagement metrics are indicative of the participant's level of engagement in the virtual collaboration session; calculate a score based upon the engagement metrics; and provide the score to the participant.

Embodiments of methods for asynchronous image repository functionality are presented. In an embodiment, a method includes storing user data in a data storage device that is local to a user interface device, storing a copy of the user data to a storage location that is remote from the user interface device, performing a service for a user of the user interface device using the copy of the user data stored to the storage location, and communicating information associated with the service back to the user interface device. Additionally, the data image may be directly scanned for malicious software. In a further embodiment, the method may include providing a software inventory associated with the user data, such as software, stored in the image.

Systems and methods for managing information and content sharing in a virtual collaboration session. In some embodiments, a method may include creating a virtual collaboration workspace for a plurality of participants, where each of the participants operates a device configured to access the workspace, the workspace including a public portion and a plurality of private portions, the public portion accessible to each of the participants and each of the plurality of private portions accessible to a corresponding participant to the exclusion of at least another participant. The method may also include providing, to a given one of the participants, a representation of the public portion and a representation of the given participant's corresponding private portion, where the representation of the public portion and the representation of the given participant's corresponding private portion are renderable concurrently in a single window of a graphical user interface displayable by the given participant's device.

Systems and methods for a presentation interface in a virtual collaboration session. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, from a gesture capture system, an indication of a body movement performed by a participant of a virtual collaboration session; receiving, from a drawing control system, an indication of a drawing characteristic associated with the participant of the virtual collaboration session, and identifying an intent of the participant based upon a combination of the indications.

Systems and methods for providing visual audio quality cues and context awareness in a virtual collaboration session. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving a plurality of audio signals, each audio signal captured from one of a plurality of a participants of a virtual collaboration session; determining, for each of the plurality of participants, a voice quality of the participant's audio signal; and providing a visual cue of the voice quality of each participant's audio signal to at least one of the plurality of participants.

Systems and methods for managing trust relationships. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving an indication of an in-person transaction between a first user and a second user; calculating, for the first user, a trust score associated with the second user, the trust score based, at least in part, upon the indication; and storing a record of the trust score. For example, the in-person transaction may include a face-to-face meeting.

A computer-implemented method to provide a secure uniform resource locator (URL) shortening service is described. A URL is received via a browser provided on a display of a computing device. A shortened URL is generated to represent the received URL. A determination is made as to whether a classification assigned to a web site associated with the shortened URL is valid. Upon determining that the assigned classification is not valid, the web site is evaluated in order to assign an updated valid classification to the web site.

A computer-implemented method for detecting potentially malicious content within NFC messages may include identifying an NFC message received by a mobile device via wireless transmission from an NFC device located in proximity of the mobile device. The method may also include determining that the NFC message is formatted in a suspicious format type capable of importing potentially malicious content into the mobile device and then scanning the NFC message for potentially malicious content in response to the determination. The method may further include detecting at least one instance of potentially malicious content while scanning the NFC message. In addition, the method may include performing at least one security action on the mobile device in response to the detection of the instance of potentially malicious content within the NFC message. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for providing security information about quick response codes may include (1) identifying a matrix barcode embedded in a web page, (2) determining that the matrix barcode includes a link to an Internet resource, (3) determining the trustworthiness of the Internet resource referenced by the matrix barcode, and then (4) augmenting the matrix barcode with a visual augmentation that is based at least in part on the trustworthiness of the Internet resource. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
