Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by an enrollment system from a first user, a communication identifier for the first user, an identification of a device type of an individually-owned electronic device of the first user, and an identification of an operating system for the individually-owned electronic device of the first user;
generating, by a device management system using the received communication identifier, identification of the device type, and the identification of the operating system, a configuration file;
transmitting, by the device management system, a message addressed to the communication identifier for the first user;
receiving, by the device management system from the individually-owned electronic device of the first user, a request to download the configuration file; and
transmitting, by the device management system, the configuration file to the individually-owned electronic device of the first user,
wherein the configuration file transmitted to the individually-owned electronic device of the first user is installed on the individually-owned electronic device of the first user, wherein, responsive to the installation of the configuration file, a security application is installed on the individually-owned electronic device of the first user and a virtual private network connection is configured for communications to and from the individually-owned electronic device of the first user,
wherein the method further comprises:
monitoring, by a network layer security system, metadata of data transmitted or received by the individually-owned electronic device over the virtual private network connection;
detecting, based on the metadata, an anomaly in the data transmitted or received by the individually-owned electronic device over the virtual private network connection,
wherein, responsive to the detection of the anomaly, the network layer security system
sends an alert to the individually-owned electronic device;
interrupts transmission or reception of the individually-owned electronic device with an endpoint associated with the anomaly; or
notifies the security application installed on the individually-owned electronic device of the anomaly.
