An endpoint security system having a Secured Authentication For Enterprise (SAFE) server is enhanced with an auxiliary service. The auxiliary service receives a request to run a job on an endpoint of an enterprise computer network, queues up the job in a central job store, and monitors whether an agent on the endpoint has checked in with the SAFE server. Responsive to the agent on the endpoint checking in with the SAFE server, the auxiliary service establishes, through a secure connection with the SAFE server, a connection with the agent on the endpoint and determines whether the agent has any jobs queued up in the central job store. If so, the auxiliary service dispatches the job from the central job store to the agent on the endpoint through the secure connection with the SAFE server and starts the job by the agent on the endpoint.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communicating between an application executing on a client device and a server using a persistent connection. An example method generally includes initializing a persistent connection between an application executing on a client device and a server. Information about an event within the application is received. Communications between the application and the server are performed via streaming data related to the information about the event carried on the persistent connection. Generally, the streaming data may be translated from an application-native format to a platform-agnostic format and may include application-specific information. One or more actions are taken within the application based on the streaming data related to the event and carried on the persistent connection.

An efficient structure and methodology are provided for communicating in a network using a contract implemented in a packet or frame. In various embodiments, a user can generate a contract clause having a constraint for communicating in the network, and determine a communication layer at which to process the constraint during communication in the network. The user device can insert the contract clause in a position in a packet corresponding to the communication layer and can transmit the packet from the user device. In various embodiments, a network node that receives a packet can identify a contract clause in a packet and can process a constraint from the contract clause. The network node can track performance of the constraint and provide accountability in response to the tracking of the performance with respect to terms associated with the constraint in the contract clause.

The present disclosure relates to a device and method for providing a terminal with information of a server in a communication system and, more specifically, to a device and method for providing a terminal with information of an application server in a mobile communication system. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may receive, from a 5G system according to a location of the terminal, an address of a DNS server to access, and receive, from a 5GS, regional information or zone information (hereinafter, referred to as an edge computing service zone ID (ESZI)) which can be used when a query is transmitted to the DNS server. When transmitting a DNS query to the corresponding DNS server, the terminal may include the ESZI in the DNS query and transmit same, and the DNS server having received the DNS query may search for an edge application server operating in an edge computing environment suitable for (or close to) a current location of the terminal, determine an address of the edge application server, and respond to the terminal. Accordingly, the terminal may access an edge application server that is closest to or most suitable for the current location of the terminal, and use an edge computing service.

The present disclosure provides systems, methods and computer-readable media for maintaining network connectivity, in a LISP based network, when one or more network edge nodes lose connectivity to a LISP control plane of the network, using multicast messaging. In one example, a method includes receiving a connection request from a first endpoint to a second endpoint communicatively coupled to a second edge node; determining, by the first edge node, that a connection session to a control plane for locating the second endpoint has failed; querying one or more available edge nodes for locating the second endpoint using a multicast message; locating the second endpoint based on at least one query response received from the one or more available edge nodes, at least one query response including an identifier of the second endpoint; and establishing the connection request between the first endpoint and the second endpoint upon locating the second endpoint.
