Abstract
A scalable cloud-based endpoint security system facilitates a security policy on a plurality of endpoints. Configuration data or commands for implementing a security policy are entered via a web browser of an administrative client device and received at a cloud server. An API server generates a message to a queue of a publication/subscription server that publishes the messages from the queue to one or more subscribing communication servers. A communication server sends the message to an endpoint targeted by the message via a persistent connection that the communication server maintains with the endpoint. In response to the message, the endpoint establishes a connection to the API server. The API server then distributes the configuration data or commands to the endpoint.
