Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and device that assists with providing secure access using preemptive measures includes receiving one or more access policy changes. Data associated with a plurality of client computing devices and a plurality of users using the plurality of client computing devices is obtained upon receiving the one or more access policy changes. One or more of the plurality of client computing devices that are affected by the received one or more access policy changes is determined based on the obtained data associated with the plurality client computing devices and the plurality of users. A notification including a preemptive action is selectively sent to each of the affected one or more client computing devices and one or more affected users.

Claims (40)

1 . A method for providing secure access using preemptive measures implemented by a network traffic management system comprising one or more network traffic apparatuses, client devices, or server devices, the method comprising:

in response to receiving a policy change configured to terminate the access of select clients to the web application executing on the web application server, obtaining stored data associated with the client, a user of the client, and prior access pattern data associated with the client accessing the web application executing on the web application server, wherein the obtained data associated with the client and the user is obtained and stored during authentication of the client and the prior access pattern data is monitored and stored upon providing the client access to the web application after authentication and prior to receiving the policy change;

determining when there is a change to a stored policy associated with the client by comparing the received policy change with the stored policy associated, and when the determination indicates the change to the stored policy:

identifying the client as an impacted client affected by the received policy change based on the obtained data and the prior access pattern data;

sending a notification comprising a preemptive action to the impacted client prior to providing the impacted client subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server; and

providing the impacted client and the impacted user subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server upon executing the sent preemptive action.

2 . The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the preemptive action comprises upgrading to a newer version of an operating system, upgrading to a newer version of a web browser or a standalone application, requiring a client certificate, enabling firewall, or requiring additional authentication.

3 . The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the obtained data comprises a geographic location of the client, a role of the user of the client, user data about the user, an internet protocol address of the client, a type of the client, a current operating system on the client, a current version of the web browser or the standalone application, a historical access pattern of the web application server, or installed application and a security policy on the client.

4 . The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising providing the client access to the web application executing on the web application server to the client and upon sending a non-action notification.

5 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for providing secure access using preemptive measures comprising executable code which when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:

determine when a client is authenticated to access a web application executing on a web application server based on an access control check, wherein when the determination indicates the client is authenticated:

in response to receiving a policy change configured to terminate the access of select clients to the web application executing on the web application server, a user of the client, and prior access pattern data associated with the client accessing the web application executing on the web application server, when a policy change is received, wherein the obtained data associated with the client and the user is obtained and stored during authentication of the client and the prior access pattern data is monitored and stored upon providing the client access to the web application after authentication and prior to receiving the policy change;

determine when there is a change to a stored policy associated with the client by comparing the received policy change with the stored policy associated, and when the determination indicates the change to the stored policy:

identify the client as an impacted client affected by the received policy change based on the obtained data and the prior access pattern data;

send a notification comprising a preemptive action to the impacted client prior to providing the impacted client subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server; and

provide the impacted client and the impacted user subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server upon executing the sent preemptive action.

6 . The medium as set forth in claim 5 wherein the preemptive action comprises upgrading to a newer version of an operating system, upgrading to a newer version of a web browser or a standalone application, requiring a client certificate, enabling firewall, or requiring additional authentication.

7 . The medium as set forth in claim 5 wherein the obtained data comprises a geographic location of the client, a role of the user of the client, user data about the user, an internet protocol address of the client, a type of the client, a current operating system on the client, a current version of the web browser or the standalone application, a historical access pattern of the web application server, or installed application and a security policy on the client.

8 . The medium as set forth in claim 5 further comprises provide the client access to the web application executing on the web application server to the client and upon sending a non-action notification.

9 . An access policy 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:

determine when a client is authenticated to access a web application executing on a web application server based on an access control check, wherein when the determination indicates the client is authenticated:

in response to receiving a policy change configured to terminate the access of select clients to the web application executing on the web application server, obtain stored data associated with the client, a user of the client, and prior access pattern data associated with the client accessing the web application executing on the web application server, wherein the obtained data associated with the client and the user is obtained and stored during authentication of the client and the prior access pattern data is monitored and stored upon providing the client access to the web application after authentication and prior to receiving the policy change;

determine when there is a change to a stored policy associated with the client by comparing the received policy change with the stored policy associated, and when the determination indicates the change to the stored policy:

identify the client as an impacted client affected by the received policy change based on the obtained data and the prior access pattern data;

send a notification comprising a preemptive action to the impacted client prior to providing the impacted client subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server; and

provide the impacted client and the impacted user subsequent access to the web application executing on the web application server upon executing the sent preemptive action.

10 . The access policy manager apparatus as set forth in claim 9 wherein the preemptive action comprises upgrading to a newer version of an operating system, upgrading to a newer version of a web browser or a standalone application, requiring a client certificate, enabling firewall, or requiring additional authentication.

11 .
