Abstract
An integrated, multi-service network client for cellular mobile devices is described. The multi-service network client can be deployed as a single software package on cellular mobile network devices to provide integrated services including secure enterprise virtual private network (VPN) connectivity, acceleration, security management including monitored and enforced endpoint compliance, and collaboration services. Once installed on the cellular mobile device, the multi-service client integrates with an operating system of the device to provide a single entry point for user authentication for secure enterprise connectivity, endpoint security services including endpoint compliance with respect to anti-virus and spyware software, and comprehensive integrity checks. That is, the multi-service client provides a common user interface to the integrated services, and provides a VPN handler that interfaces with the operating system to provide an entry point for network traffic to which the integrated services can be seamlessly applied.
