Virtual machines in a network may be isolated by encrypting transmissions between the virtual machines with keys possessed only by an intended recipient. Within a network, the virtual machines may be logically organized into a number of community-of-interest (COI) groups. Each COI may use an encryption key to secure communications within the COI, such that only other virtual machines in the COI may decrypt the message. Remote devices may gain access to virtual machines in a network through a virtual device relay. The virtual device relay receives data from the remote device, such as a tablet or cellular phone, and forwards the data to one of the virtual machines, when the virtual device relay shares a COI with the destination virtual machine.

Virtual relay device for providing a secure connection to a remote device

Methods and systems of communicating with secure endpoints included within a secured network from a mobile device external to the secured network is disclosed. The method includes initiating a VPN-based secure connection to a VPN appliance, and initializing a stealth-based service on the mobile device. The method further includes transmitting user credential information from the mobile device to a VDR broker via the VPN appliance, and receiving status information from the VDR broker identifying a VDR associated with the mobile device and providing a connected status. The method also includes communicating with one or more secure endpoints within the secured network via a VPN connection to the VDR via the VPN appliance and through the VDR to the one or more secure endpoints within a community of interest based on the user credential information transmitted to the VDR broker.
