Abstract

A system may include a request handler, a security policy checker, and a processor. The request handler may handle at least one requested action for a file on a mobile client device of a user side. The security policy checker may check the at least one requested action based upon a plurality of settings of the mobile client device. The processor may implement a permission in response to the at least one requested action. The security policy checker may generate the permission based upon the at least one requested action and the plurality of settings of the mobile client device, and the permission may comprise at least one of disabling the requested action, allowing the requested action, and modifying the requested action.

Claims (32)

1 . A system, comprising:

a request handler handling at least one requested action for a file on a mobile client device of a user side;

a security policy checker checking the at least one requested action based upon a plurality of settings of the mobile client device; and

a processor implementing a permission in response to the at least one requested action,

wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon the at least one requested action and the plurality of settings of the mobile client device, and the permission comprises at least one of disabling the requested action, allowing the requested action, and modifying the requested action.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission by checking a plurality of security policies for entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon a plurality of default security policies based upon the plurality of settings of the mobile client device if the security policy checker could not find entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein a document classification corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of security policies defined.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of user groups.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of types of mobile client devices.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of types of operating systems.

8 . A method of a system, comprising:

handling, by a request handler, at least one requested action for a file on a mobile client device of a user side;

checking, by a security policy checker, the at least one requested action based upon a plurality of settings of the mobile client device; and

implementing, by a processor, a permission in response to the at least one requested action,

wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon the at least one requested action and the plurality of settings of the mobile client device, and the permission comprises at least one of disabling the requested action, allowing the requested action, and modifying the requested action.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission by checking a plurality of security policies for entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon a plurality of default security policies based upon the plurality of settings of the mobile client device if the security policy checker could not find entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein a document classification corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of security policies defined.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of user groups.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of types of mobile client devices.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of types of operating systems.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program codes executable by a processor of a server system, to perform:

handling, by a request handler, at least one requested action for a file on a mobile client device of a user side;

checking, by a security policy checker, the at least one requested action based upon a plurality of settings of the mobile client device; and

implementing, by a processor, a permission in response to the at least one requested action,

wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon the at least one requested action and the plurality of settings of the mobile client device, and the permission comprises at least one of disabling the requested action, allowing the requested action, and modifying the requested action.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission by checking a plurality of security policies for entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the security policy checker generates the permission based upon a plurality of default security policies based upon the plurality of settings of the mobile client device if the security policy checker could not find entries matching the plurality of settings of the mobile client device.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein a document classification corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of security policies defined.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of user groups.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of settings of the mobile client device comprises a plurality of types of mobile client devices or a plurality of types of operating systems.
