Abstract
Mobile device security, device management, and policy enforcement are described in a cloud based system where the “cloud” is used to pervasively enforce security and policy and perform device management regardless of device type, platform, location, etc. A cloud based method includes monitoring traffic between a mobile device and an external network in a cloud based system separate from the mobile device and the external network; enforcing policy with respect to the traffic from the mobile device to the external network to determine whether to block or allow the traffic from the mobile device to the external network; and inspecting content associated with the traffic from the external network to the mobile device to determine whether to block or allow the traffic from the external network to the mobile device.
