A computer-implemented method for dynamically adjusting server settings is described. In one embodiment, at least one parameter of a status of a server that diverges from a corresponding baseline setting of a policy maintained by the server may be identified. An adjustment to the baseline setting of the policy may be calculated based at least in part on the divergent parameter. The baseline setting of the policy may be adjusted according to the calculated adjustment. A command may be issued to send data representative of the adjusted baseline setting of the policy from the server to a client to update a user profile.

A computer-implemented method for providing security for synchronized files may include (1) synchronizing, using a cloud folder synchronization service, a backend server with both a client folder on a client machine and an additional client folder on an additional client machine, (2) propagating a file from the client folder to the backend server through the cloud folder synchronization service, (3) identifying, using the cloud folder synchronization service, a result of a security scan of the propagated file, and (4) adjusting, using the cloud folder synchronization service, the synchronization of the file with the additional client folder based on the result of the security scan. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for providing security for synchronized files

A computer-implemented method for warning mobile device users about potentially malicious NFC tags may include (1) obtaining, by a mobile device, NFC-tag information that identifies (i) a geo-location of at least one NFC tag and (ii) a result of at least one malware analysis performed on the NFC tag, (2) determining that the NFC tag includes potentially malicious content based at least in part on the result of the malware analysis performed on the NFC tag, (3) determining that the mobile device is located in proximity of the NFC tag based at least in part on the geo-location of the NFC tag, and then (4) providing an alert that warns a user of the mobile device against scanning the NFC tag due at least in part to the potentially malicious content included in the NFC tag. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
