Secure cross-device direct transient data sharing
Systems and methods can allow for secure cross-device sharing of transient data using direct transient data sharing (“DTDS”). A source destination can share data using local DTDS with an agent on a first device. The agent can send the data to a hub server that runs a security control process and data formatting process. The hub server can determine risk scores for the source and destination devices and allow the sharing to occur if a safety threshold is met. Then an agent on the destination device can receive the transient data and use local DTDS to send the data to a destination application.
1. A method for sharing between user devices using direct transient data sharing (“DTDS”), comprising:
receiving data at a server from a first device, wherein a source application on the first device shares the data with a first agent at the first device using DTDS, and wherein the first agent shares the data with the sever;
identifying, at the server, a second device associated with a same user as the first device;
determining that security requirements are met by at least one of the first device and second device; and
in an instance where the security requirements are met, sending the data to a destination application of the second device,
wherein determining the security requirements are met includes determining risk scores for the first device and second device based on a management status of the source application and destination application, wherein the risk scores are compared against a threshold to determine whether to send the data to the destination application.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the second device runs a different operating system (“OS”) compared to the first device; and
translating the data for use with the different OS.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the translating includes the server converting an image to a different image format.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the translating includes converting the data to a different size.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the security requirements are met is based on compliance of the first and second devices with an enterprise mobility management (“EMM”) compliance policy, wherein a first agent on the first and a second agent on the second device report compliance statuses to the server.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the data to the destination application includes sending the data from the server to a second agent on the second device, and wherein the second agent sends the data to the destination application using DTDS.
7. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a hardware-based processor, performs stages for sharing between user devices using direct transient data sharing (“DTDS”), the stages comprising:
receiving data at a server from a first device, wherein a source application on the first device shares the data with a first agent at the first device using DTDS, and wherein the first agent shares the data with the sever;
identifying, at the server, a second device associated with a same user as the first device;
determining that security requirements are met by at least one of the first device and second device;
in an instance where the security requirements are met, sending the data to a destination application of the second device;
determining that the second device runs a different operating system (“OS”) compared to the first device; and
translating the data for use with the different OS.
8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the translating includes the server converting an image to a different image format.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the translating includes converting the data to a different size.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein determining the security requirements are met includes determining risk scores for the first device and second device based on a management status of the source application and destination application, wherein the risk scores are compared against a threshold to determine whether to send the data to the destination application.
11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein determining the security requirements are met is based on compliance of the first and second devices with an enterprise mobility management (“EMM”) compliance policy, wherein a first agent on the first and a second agent on the second device report compliance statuses to the server.
12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein sending the data to the destination application includes sending the data from the server to a second agent on the second device, and wherein the second agent sends the data to the destination application using DTDS.
13. A system for secure cross-device transient data sharing using direct transient data sharing (“DTDS”), comprising:
a memory storage including a non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions; and
a computing device including a hardware-based processor that executes the instructions to carry out stages comprising:
receiving data at a server from a first device, wherein a source application on the first device shares the data with a first agent at the first device using DTDS, and wherein the first agent shares the data with the sever;
identifying, at the server, a second device associated with a same user as the first device;
determining that security requirements are met by at least one of the first device and second device; and
in an instance where the security requirements are met, sending the data to a destination application of the second device.
14. The system of claim 13 , the stages further comprising:
determining that the second device runs a different operating system (“OS”) compared to the first device; and
translating the data for use with the different OS.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the translating includes the server converting an image to a different image format.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the translating includes converting the data to a different size.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein determining the security requirements are met includes determining risk scores for the first device and second device based on a management status of the source application and destination application, wherein the risk scores are compared against a threshold to determine whether to send the data to the destination application.
18. The system of claim 13 , wherein determining the security requirements are met is based on compliance of the first and second devices with an enterprise mobility management (“EMM”) compliance policy, wherein a first agent on the first and a second agent on the second device report compliance statuses to the server.
