Methods and systems for managing operation of endpoint devices are disclosed. The operation of the endpoint devices may be managed using a security framework. The security framework may be used to transparently encrypt and decrypt application data transmitted via a network without requiring the applications to participate in the encryption and decryption. Additionally, the security framework may facilitate screening of network traffic for malicious traffic. The traffic may be screened using information inserted into reserved fields of control information from network data units. The reserved fields may be used to store data based on network information for originating entities.

Seamless network confidentiality for a containerized application on edge infrastructure

A method comprises receiving data corresponding to operation of one or more edge devices, and analyzing the data using one or more machine learning algorithms to determine whether the operation of the one or more edge devices is anomalous. In determining whether the operation of the one or more edge devices is anomalous, the one or more machine learning algorithms determine whether the operation of the one or more edge devices deviates from identified normal operational parameters of the one or more edge devices. At least one action to control access to the one or more edge devices is triggered in response to determining that the operation of the one or more edge devices is anomalous.

Methods and systems for managing operation of endpoint devices are disclosed. The operation of the endpoint devices may be managed by distributing updates to the endpoint devices. To facilitate distribution, some endpoint devices may be grouped and one of the group may be selected to serve as a coordinating endpoint device. The coordinating endpoint device may serve as a single source of contact for a coordinator tasked with distributing updates to endpoint devices of the group. The coordinating endpoint device may obtain and distribute copies of the updates to recipient endpoint devices.

Distributing endpoint devices configuration via coordinator device

Methods and systems for managing operation of endpoint devices are disclosed. The operation of the endpoint devices may be managed by requiring that the endpoint devices obtain security data from other devices. If the security data is not obtained, the endpoint devices may seal at least some of their functions from use by users. By limiting the functions of the endpoint devices, malicious parties may be less likely to be able to compromise the endpoint devices. The endpoint devices and other devices may be operably connected via a channel that limits that distance between the endpoint devices and the other devices. If the distance is exceeded, then the endpoint devices may be deprived of access to the security data.
