There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform including at least a processor and a memory; and a security agent including instructions encoded in the memory to instruct the processor to: monitor a user's operation of the computing apparatus over time, including determining whether a selected behavior is a security risk; provide a risk analysis of the user's operation based at least in part on the monitoring; select a scan sensitivity based at least in part on the risk analysis; and scan, with the selected sensitivity, one or more objects on the computing apparatus to determine if the one or more objects are a threat.

Behavioral user security policy

Managing authentication of a child device includes receiving, by a host device, sensor data from a child device, deriving simplified authentication data from the sensor data based on a capability of the child device, storing the simplified authentication data in an authentication profile for the child device, and transmitting the simplified authentication data to the child device, wherein the simplified authentication data is sufficient to allow the child device to authenticate a user without the host device.
