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 a network in a cloud-based system that is implemented as an overlay network relative to the mobile device and the network; analyzing the traffic from the mobile device to the network, for enforcing policy thereon, wherein the policy includes a set of use guidelines associated with the user of the mobile device; and blocking or allowing the traffic from the mobile device to the network based on the analyzing.
