Enterprise-wide security for computer devices
First Claim
1. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor:
- scans a network based on a scan profile defining one or more parameters associated with at least one of domains and computing nodes in the network;
detects at least one domain on the network in accordance with at least one parameter defined in the scan profile;
detects at least one computing node within the detected domain;
connects to the detected computing node;
detects, using a discovery program, one or more mobile devices connected to the detected computing node; and
determines information associated with at least one mobile device of the detected mobile devices, wherein the information is to include a type of computing platform of the at least one mobile device, and wherein the type of computing platform of the at least one mobile device is determined by querying one or more application registries on the computing node.

Abstract
A system and method for securing data in mobile devices (104) includes a computing mode (102) and a plurality of mobile devices (104). A node security program (202) executed in the computing node (102) interfaces with a device security program (204) executed at a mobile device (104). The computing node (102) is responsible for managing the security based on a node security profile (208) interpreted by a node security program (202) executed in the computing node (102). A device discovery method and arrangement (106) also detects and locates various information (120) about the mobile devices (104) based on a scan profile (206).
