Abstract

Methods and systems for securing communications with an enterprise from a remote computing system are disclosed. One method includes initiating a secured connection with a VPN appliance associated with an enterprise using service credentials maintained in a secure applet installed on a remote computing device, and initiating communication with an authentication server within an enterprise via the secured connection. The method also includes receiving specific credentials from the authentication server, terminating the secured connection with the VPN appliance, and initiating a second secured connection with the VPN appliance using the specific credentials, the specific credentials providing access to one or more computing devices within the enterprise being within a same community of interest as the remote computing device and obfuscating one or more other computing systems within the enterprise excluded from the community of interest. The method also includes initiating communications with at least one of the one or more computing devices included in the community of interest.
