The subject disclosure relates to techniques for monitoring contextual and performance information of a device for anticipatorily sending update information to the device. An interface component can receive, from the client, contextual information indicating an operating environment of the client and performance information that is associated with one or more operations being performed by the client based on the operating environment, and send, based on correlation information, update information to the client. Further, a service component can to infer a relationship between the contextual information and the performance information to obtain the correlation information. In other embodiments, a client can populate a cache with portion(s) of the contextual information to obtain cached information, and send at least a portion of the cached information to a system including one or more aspects of the service component.

Discovery and mining of performance information of a device for anticipatorily sending updates to the device

Data management techniques are provided for handling information resources. A data management process can account for attributes of information resources by analyzing or interpreting the workspace location, source, channel and device associated with an information resource, and effectuating policies, based on the attributes. Rules govern the attribute determination and policies for access restriction to the information resource. The attributes and policies determined are tagged to the information resource and is dynamically updated based on the attributes related to the information resource within different workspaces, such as a corporate workspace and a personal workspace.

Protection of data in a mixed use device

An electronic device may be reported as potentially compromised (e.g., by a user or by the electronic device itself). An instruction to initiate remediation of the electronic device may be queued. Upon reaching the end of the queue, the instruction is transmitted to the electronic device to initiate remediation of the electronic device. The instruction is received by the electronic device. The remediation policy is performed, which may include performing operations such as deleting an encryption key, deleting data, disabling a login capability, disabling a boot up functionality, disabling a function associated with the electronic device, transmitting data from the electronic device, transmitting a message from the electronic device, or generating information that indicates of a user of the electronic device.

Mitigations for potentially compromised electronic devices

A system and method for facilitating the selection and implementation of software updates while minimizing the bandwidth and processing resources required to select and implement the software updates. In one embodiment, an update service controls access to software updates, or other types of software, stored on a server.

System and method for managing and communicating software updates

A system and related methods for automatically configuring a computing system includes receiving an identifier associated with a computing system, identifying the authorized and available resources for the computing system, assessing the current resources of the computing system, and downloading, installing and configuring zero or more needed resources on the computing system based, at least in part, on the assessment.
