Claim 0:
1. A computer program product comprising computer executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on an endpoint of an enterprise network, performs the steps of:
configuring a secure communication channel from the endpoint to a threat management facility for the enterprise network, the secure communication channel including a secure wireless link from the endpoint to a wireless access point and a secure tunnel from the wireless access point to the threat management facility, such that communication originating on the endpoint is securely routahle to the threat management facility through the wireless access point and communication originating on the threat management facility is securely routable through the wireless access point to the endpoint;
communicating information about network usage for the endpoint, from the endpoint to the threat management facility, through the secure wireless link and the secure tunnel;
receiving a command at the wireless access point from a supervisor process of the threat management facility through the secure tunnel and the secure wireless link to reconfigure at least one network setting of the secure wireless link between the endpoint and the wireless access point, to improve quality of service for wireless devices within the enterprise network; and
reconfiguring, by the wireless access point, the at least one network setting, of the secure wireless link between the endpoint and the wireless access point, in response to the command based on the information about network usage communicated from the endpoint to the threat management facility.
