Managing user profiles securely in a user environment

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device causes the computing device to perform the steps comprising:

• detecting, by a management agent of a user environment, a launch of an application within the user environment;
• verifying, by a filter driver, an identity derived from the application against a stored profile of the application, wherein the stored profile is created by executing the application and capturing a directory path within the user environment from the executed application;
• and
• responsive to determining that the identity derived from the application matches the stored profile of the application, importing, by the management agent, an encrypted user profile from a remote storage to a local storage, decrypting, by the filter driver, the encrypted user profile, and providing the decrypted user profile to the application.

A computer system comprising a processor, a memory, and a local storage, and connected to a remote storage over a network, wherein the processor is programmed with:

• a management agent of a user environment that detects a launch of an application within the user environment;
• and
• a filter driver that verifies an identity derived from the application against a stored profile of the application, wherein the stored profile is created by executing the application and capturing a directory path within the user environment from the executed application,
• wherein, responsive to determining that the identity derived from the application matches the stored profile of the application, the management agent imports an encrypted user profile from the remote storage to the local storage, and the filter driver decrypts the encrypted user profile and provides the decrypted user profile to the application.
