Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and mobile application manager apparatus that assists with enhancing enforcement on compliance based on security violations includes obtaining security violation data associated with a plurality of enrolled mobile devices and identifying one or more of the plurality of enrolled mobile devices causing one or more security violations based on the obtained security violation data. One or more compliance policies are updated based on the obtained security violation data. A compliance check is performed on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations based on the updated one or more policies and initiating one or more compliance correction actions on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

Claims (28)

1. A method for enhancing enforcement on compliance based on security violations implemented by a network traffic management system comprising one or more network traffic apparatuses, client devices, or server devices, the method comprising:

obtaining security violation data associated with a plurality of enrolled mobile devices and identifying one or more of the plurality of enrolled mobile devices causing one or more security violations based on the obtained security violation data;

updating one or more compliance policies based on the obtained security violation data; and

performing a compliance check on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations based on the updated one or more compliance policies and initiating one or more compliance correction actions on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations, wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises adding one or more security profiles to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the security violation data is obtained from an access policy manager computing device.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises revoking a device certificate to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations to disallow access to a plurality of web applications on the web application servers.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises installing or uninstalling one or more mobile applications in the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for enhancing enforcement on compliance based on security violations comprising executable code which when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:

obtain security violation data associated with a plurality of enrolled mobile devices and identifying one or more of the plurality of enrolled mobile devices causing one or more security violations based on the obtained security violation data;

update one or more compliance policies based on the obtained security violation data; and

perform a compliance check on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations based on the updated one or more compliance policies and initiating one or more compliance correction actions on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations, wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises adding one or more security profiles to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

6. The medium as set forth in claim 5 wherein the security violation data is obtained from an access policy manager computing device.

7. The medium as set forth in claim 5 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises revoking a device certificate to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations to disallow access to a plurality of web applications on the web application servers.

8. The medium as set forth in claim 5 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises installing or uninstalling one or more mobile applications in the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

9. A mobile application manager apparatus, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored in the memory and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:

obtain security violation data associated with a plurality of enrolled mobile devices and identifying one or more of the plurality of enrolled mobile devices causing one or more security violations based on the obtained security violation data;

update one or more compliance policies based on the obtained security violation data; and

perform a compliance check on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations based on the updated one or more compliance policies and initiating one or more compliance correction actions on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations, wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises installing or uninstalling one or more mobile applications in the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

10. The device as set forth in claim 9 wherein the security violation data is obtained from an access policy manager computing device.

11. The device as set forth in claim 9 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises revoking a device certificate to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations to disallow access to a plurality of web applications on the web application servers.

12. The device as set forth in claim 9 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises installing or uninstalling one or more mobile applications in the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

13. A network traffic management system, comprising one or more traffic management apparatuses, client devices, or server devices, the network traffic management system comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:

obtain security violation data associated with a plurality of enrolled mobile devices and identifying one or more of the plurality of enrolled mobile devices causing one or more security violations based on the obtained security violation data;

update one or more compliance policies based on the obtained security violation data; and

perform a compliance check on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations based on the updated one or more compliance policies and initiating one or more compliance correction actions on the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations, wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises adding one or more security profiles to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.

14. The network traffic management system of claim 13 , wherein the security violation data is obtained from an access policy manager computing device.

15. The network traffic management system of claim 13 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises revoking a device certificate to the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations to disallow access to a plurality of web applications on the web application servers.

16. The network traffic management system of claim 13 wherein the one or more compliance correction actions further comprises installing or uninstalling one or more mobile applications in the identified one or more enrolled mobile devices causing the one or more security violations.
