Abstract
A mobile security system and device that provides a physically secured network device to extends a home network anywhere in the world where there is access to power is disclosed. The mobile security system and device has integrated logical and physical security and may be transported into an area with no internet connection and be self-sufficient and secured. The mobile security system and device includes a housing enclosing a computing apparatus, an access control mechanism to secure a door of the housing in a closed position, and a security control module to protect the data stored on the computing apparatus and provide authentication to access the enclosure. A back-up power supply supported by the housing and a wireless router to provide wireless network access to the remote home network may also be provided.
Claims19
A mobile secure network system comprising:
- a computing apparatus configured to extend a remote home network to a current location of a network device so that one or more endpoint devices at the current location of the network device can join the remote home network;
- a housing supporting the computing apparatus and including a door to access the computing apparatus, the housing including a back-up power supply supported thereon;
- an access control mechanism including a credential reader communicationally connected to the door and a locking device movable between a locked and unlocked position to allow access to the computing apparatus in the unlocked position;
- and
- a security control module communicationally connected to the access control mechanism and configured to deny access to the housing upon occurrence of one or more predefined occurrences selected from a group including unverified users attempting to gain access to the computing apparatus through the access control mechanism, failure to synchronize a local cache with a remote cache on a parent network, a physical breach of the housing, and power loss.
A mobile secure network device comprising:
- a computing apparatus configured to extend a remote home network to a current location of a network device so that one or more endpoint devices at the current location of the network device can join the remote home network;
- a local cache of data stored by the computing apparatus;
- a mobile housing supporting the computing apparatus and including a back-up power supply supported thereon;
- an access control mechanism to secure the mobile housing from unauthorized users including a locking device movable between a locked and unlocked position to allow access to the computing apparatus by authorized users;
- a security control module communicationally connected to the access control mechanism and constructed and arranged to deny access to the mobile housing upon occurrence of one or more predefined occurrences;
- and
- wherein upon access to the mobile housing being denied by the security control module a shutdown protocol is initiated including deleting data from the local cache and disabling access to the remote home network.
