Desikan’s latest patents address ways to secure access to private networks and manage different kinds of network traffic.

“Triggering Provisioning of Cloud-Based Security Through Firewall” describes a process in which an access control service checks whether an end-user device is authorized to access a private network and evaluates the device’s characteristics. The system applies application-control and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies, generates a unique session token for an approved request, and uses a firewall connector to establish a secure tunnel between the device and the private network.

“Integration and Implementation of Global Edge Functionalities” concerns securely routing and controlling traffic for end-user devices. The disclosed approach covers private application traffic, private network traffic, and Internet or Software-as-a-Service traffic. It uses a ZTNA proxy to authenticate devices and a firewall connector to establish a secure tunnel.
