A system and a method are disclosed for managing information technology (IT) infrastructure. Client devices interact with applications of an enterprise that may be hosted in data centers of the enterprise or as software as a service (SaaS) applications. An IT management system receives session information from client devices. The session information describes interactions of client devices with applications, for example, response time of applications for each interaction. The IT management system analyzes the session information received from various client devices to identify issues with IT infrastructure. The IT management system generates warning messages describing the issues identified and sends them for review, for example, by a system administrator.

Managing information technology infrastructure based on user experience

A system and method are disclosed for adaptive authentication. An access control system stores policies for an enterprise, where each policy specifies a type of access control. The type of access control includes one or more security rules, which may specify authentication procedures, allowable behaviors, or both. The access control system stores a mapping from contexts of requests to interact with applications and access control policies. When a user requests access to an application associated with the enterprise via a client, the access control system receives the context of the request. The access control system selects an access control policy for the context of the request. The access control system sends access control information from the access control policy selected to the client. The client interacts with the user to perform the authentication.

Context-based authentication of mobile devices

Described herein are systems and methods for fallback operation within WLANs that rely on remote authentication procedures. When a primary network node authentication process fails, fallback access control parameters associated with a secondary network node authentication process are exchanged between a network node and an authentication server, wherein the secondary network node authentication process allows the network node to access other resources of a computer network.

Methods and systems for fallback modes of operation within wireless computer networks

As part of a wireless access point configuration process, a computer network is probed and each previously unprogrammed wireless access point on the network is programmed by transmitting wireless network configuration parameters thereto using a software agent residing on a node of the computer network.

Automated discovery of access points in wireless computer networks

Methods and apparatus for the automated configuration of 802.1x clients in wireless computer networks are described. In one embodiment, a wireless network client for a wireless network is configured automatically, by providing (using a software driver installed at either the network client or a remote server) network configuration information to a software client of the wireless network client.

Methods and systems for automated configuration of 802.1x clients

A system, method and computer program product are provided. Included is a bridge capable of communication with a non-wireless capable device and a wireless network. In use, such bridge incorporates security functionality for remotely and automatically securing the non-wireless capable device during use of the wireless network.

Remotely configurable bridge system and method for use in secure wireless networks

A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a peer-to-peer wireless network is advertised utilizing a granting node. Further, a requesting node is provided for connecting to the peer-to-peer wireless network. Thereafter, such requesting node is redirected to a portal. To this end, a software application is capable of being downloaded to the requesting node via the peer-to-peer wireless network utilizing the portal.

Captive portal system and method for use in peer-to-peer networks

A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a first key is exchanged between a granting node and a requesting node via a peer-to-peer wireless network. Further, a human-perceptible hash is generated at the granting node and the requesting node, utilizing the first key. Such human-perceptible hashes are then compared via an out-of-band communication channel. To this end, a second key may then be transmitted to the requesting node for providing access to a centrally-based wireless network.

Methods and systems for exchanging security information via peer-to-peer wireless networks

As part of a network node authentication process, a MAC address or other globally unique identifier of an access point through which the network node will access a computer network is transmitted in an EAP or other authentication message to an authentication server to uniquely identify the access point to the authentication server.

Methods and systems of remote authentication for computer networks

A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a key is distributed to a plurality of nodes of a wireless network for use in securing the nodes during use of the wireless network. Further, the key is automatically updated at the nodes in the wireless network based on predetermined criteria.
