Techniques for seamlessly onboarding a wireless device. A system utilizing such techniques can include a key-based authentication system and a unique pre-shared key seamless onboarding system. A method utilizing such techniques can include key-based authentication management and unique pre-shared key seamless onboarding management.

Seamless wireless device onboarding

A unique pre-shared key plug-in is installed on a Chromebook device. Identification data associated with the Chromebook device is received, from the unique pre-shared key plug-in through a Chromebook client management system API. A unique pre-shared key is assigned to the Chromebook device using the identification data. The unique pre-shared key is sent to the Chromebook device. The Chromebook device is configured to seamlessly authenticate for a wireless network using the unique pre-shared key.

Electronic device credential management

An identity platform system configured to authenticate a company-assigned device for accessing a first network using a first unique pre-shared key associated with the company-assigned device. A personal BYOD credential management system configured to authenticate a personal BYOD for accessing a second network using a second unique pre-shared key associated with the personal BYOD. A network administrator interface configured to provide access to the identity platform for a network administrator. A personal BYOD credential management system API included as part of the identity platform system and configured to provide the identity platform system access to the personal BYOD credential management system as if the personal BYOD credential management system is embedded in the identity platform system.

BYOD credential management

A request related to an access to a network by a first user device may be received. The user device may be included in a plurality of user devices associated with a first first-level security profile assigned to the user. An application extension to an application executing on the first user device may be accessed in response to the request related to the access. A network connectivity file may be provided to the application extension. The network connectivity file may include network configuration information for the first user device. The network configuration information may be associated with a first second-level security profile assigned to the first user device. Instructions to configure the first user device to access the network based at least in part on the network configuration information in the network connectivity file may be provided.

User-based network onboarding

Chromebook credential management

A network security system including a first-level security profile engine and a second-level security profile engine is disclosed. The first-level security profile engine may assign a first-level security profile for a first user device, the first user device requesting access to a network; the second-level security profile engine assigns a first second-level security profile to the first user device, the first second-level security profile providing first network configuration information for the first user device; a device selection engine receives a selection of a second user device associated with the first-level security profile; and the second-level security profile engine assigns a second second-level security profile to the second user device, the second second-level security profile providing second network configuration information for the second user device. A device network configuration engine can then configure the first user device to access the network based on the first network configuration information.

A data security system and method protects stored data from unauthorized access. According to one aspect of the invention, a client computing device communicates periodically with a server. If communications is note established between the client and the server for a selected activation interval and a subsequent grace period, the data is determined to be lost, and programmed security rules are automatically executed. The server with which the client computer device communicates includes one server located inside the firewall of a particular organization, or a mirror server located outside the firewall, and thereby allow for the re-setting of the activation interval when the client is properly outside of the firewall through communication with the mirror server, as well as the to provide command an control over a lost or stolen client by pushing updated rules if communication is subsequently attempted with the mirror server.

A network security system including a first-level security profile engine and a second-level security profile engine is disclosed. In an example of operation, the first-level security profile engine assigns a first-level security profile for a first user device, the first user device requesting access to a network; the second-level security profile engine assigns a first second-level security profile to the first user device, the first second-level security profile providing first network configuration information for the first user device; a device selection engine receives a selection of a second user device associated with the first-level security profile; and the second-level security profile engine assigns a second second-level security profile to the second user device, the second second-level security profile providing second network configuration information for the second user device. A device network configuration engine can then configure the first user device to access the network based on the first network configuration information.

If communications is note established between the client and the server for a selected activation interval and a subsequent grace period, the data is determined to be lost, and programmed security rules are automatically executed. Rules relating to encryption, as well as other security procedures, can be defined and entered by an administrator with access to the server, and then disseminated to each of a plurality of clients that access the server.
