An information handling system includes a memory that stores a registry with a multiple fields for applications executed in the information handling system. A processor receives an update for a monitored application of the applications. In response to the update being received, the processor updates one of the fields of the registry to indicate that the update is available for the first application. Based on the one of the fields being updated, the processor determines an idle time of the information handling system. During the idle time, the processor provides an update request to a trusted device and determines whether an update request confirmation has been received from the trusted device. In response to the update request confirmation being received, the processor performs the update for each application that requires an update.

Notification based software management via connected devices

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may receive, by a parent process of a child process, first information indicating that the child process ceased executing; determine, by an analyzer of the parent process, a reason that the child process ceased executing; determine, by the parent process, a first numerical weight associated with the reason; determine, by the parent process, that the first numerical weight is above a threshold numerical value; restart, by the parent process, execution of the child process; determine, by a loss function, a second numerical weight associated with the reason; receive, by the parent process, second information indicating that the child process has ceased executing; determine, by the analyzer, the reason that the child process ceased executing; and determine, by the parent process, that the second numerical weight is not above the threshold numerical value.

System and method of managing restarting child processes on information handling systems

Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to manage screen sharing of local system windows from a local information handling system to other remote information handling systems by a screen sharing application. In one example, the disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to allow selected local system window/s to continue to remain visible to a local user on the local display screen of a local information handling system that is executing a screen sharing application, while at the same time blocking or otherwise preventing the selected local system window/s from being shared by the screen sharing application across a network with other remote information handling systems, e.g., that are participating with the local information handling system in a common web conference session.

Systems and methods to manage screen sharing of displayed local system windows

A system that implements a software tool for data leak prevention whenever a protected document containing sensitive or encrypted content is opened by a document-management application having capability to directly access an Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, without using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The application is selectively blocked from accessing the Internet whenever a protected document is opened by the application. The application may be, for example, the Microsoft&#xae; Word or the Adobe&#xae; Acrobat&#xae; Reader. The software tool restores the network access for the application once the protected document is no longer open in the application. Even though one application is blocked from accessing the IP network, the software tool allows another application to access the network so long as a non-protected document is opened by the other application. Thus, application-specific, selective blocking of network access is accomplished by the software tool based on document content.

Selective blocking of network access for third party applications based on file content

Systems and methods for preventing leakage of protected data to unsecured applications and documents may include determining that a first document is a protected document in a managed application, detecting a request to copy protected data from the first document to a system clipboard accessible by unprotected documents, redirecting the protected data to a secure clipboard, determining that a second document is an unprotected document, detecting a request to paste the protected data into the second document, and refraining from pasting the protected data into the second document. The secure clipboard may be implemented by a data leakage prevention (DLP) client. It may be separate from the system clipboard and inaccessible by unprotected documents. Dynamic-link library injection and API hooking may allow the DLP client to intercept clipboard related function calls made by managed applications into the operating system and to transparently change the behavior of the managed application.

Systems and methods for preventing leakage of protected document data

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may redirect a request to open a document to a background process that controls access to the document; may determine policy information associated with the document and a user of an application; may provide the document to the application; may determine an area of a user interface of the application that displays information of the document; may determine watermark information based at least on the policy information; may generate one or more watermarks based at least on the watermark information; and may display the one or more watermarks, based at least on the watermark information, on the area of the user interface of the application that displays the information of the document.

System and method of displaying watermarks

An information handling system operating a forced data leakage prevention system may comprise a processor executing code instructions of the forced data leakage prevention system to identify a third party application and an associated first dynamic link library address, identify a control policy associated with the third party application and the identified user, wherein the control policy includes a subset of code instructions associated with a secure data set, identify a call to execute code instructions stored at the first dynamic link library address, move the code instructions stored at the first dynamic link library into a second library prior to execution, inject the subset of code instructions into the code instructions stored in the second library according to the control policy, and move the code instructions stored in the second library including the injected subset of code instructions into the first dynamic link library for execution by the processor.
