Systems and methods include, responsive to a request to access an application, wherein the application is in one of a public cloud, a private cloud, and an enterprise network, and wherein the user device is remote over the Internet, determining if a user of the user device is permitted to access the application; determining a posture of the user device; and allowing access to the application based on whether the user is permitted to access the application and based on the posture of the user device.

Utilizing endpoint security posture, identification, and remote attestation for restricting private application access

Systems and methods include obtaining trusted network rules for a plurality of networks, wherein the trusted network rules include whether a network is untrusted or one of a plurality of trusted networks; obtaining policy configurations for each of the trusted network rules, wherein the policy configurations define configurations for a cloud-based system to use with a user device based on a corresponding network where the user device is connected; communicating with the user device and determining which network of the plurality of network the user device is connected; and applying the configurations in the cloud-based system for the user device based on the network the user device is connected. The steps can further include obtaining forwarding policies for each of the plurality of networks; and providing the forwarding policies to a connector application executed on the user device.

Cloud policy enforcement based on network trust

Systems and methods include providing a user interface to an administrator associated with a tenant of a cloud-based system, wherein the tenant has a plurality of users each having an associated user device; receiving a plurality of client forwarding policies for the plurality of users, wherein each client forwarding policy of the client forwarding policies define rules related to how application requests from the plurality of users are forwarded for zero trust access; and providing the rules to corresponding user devices of the plurality of users.

Client forwarding policies for zero trust access for applications

Systems and methods include, in a cloud node executing a security service, causing a mobile device to perform a validation check to determine if the mobile device is any of fake, counterfeit, jailbroken, and rooted; responsive to successful validation, allowing traffic to and from the mobile device through the security service; and responsive to unsuccessful validation, preventing traffic to and from the mobile device through the security service. The systems and methods can further include, prior to the causing, requiring the mobile device to install and launch an application, wherein registration with the security service requires the application; and performing the validation check via the application and a fake check service.

Quarantining fake, counterfeit, jailbroke, or rooted mobile devices in the cloud

Systems and methods implemented by an application executed on a user device for service discovery and connectivity include, responsive to joining a new network, performing a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) operation to obtain network configuration parameters; receiving a DHCP message in response with the network configuration parameters; via an application executed on the user device for service discovery and connectivity analyzing data in the DHCP message to determine one or more forwarding profiles on the new network, wherein the one or more forwarding profiles are based on a location or trust of the new network; and automatically installing the determined one or more forwarding profiles.
