A security application may monitor applications attempting to be installed on a user device. In one example, various steps may include at least one of: receiving an application access operation on a computing device, identifying at least one application action associated with the application access operation, retrieving an application security profile stored in memory, identifying at least one application security restriction in the application security profile related to the at least one application action, restricting the at least one application action from occurring based on the at least one application security restriction and notifying a pre-registered device responsive to restricting the at least one application action.

Remote permissions monitoring and control

A user may be aided in modifying a product that is an assemblage of parts. This aid may involve a processor obtaining images of a target part captured by the user on a mobile device camera. The processor may compare, based on the captured images and a plurality of images of identified parts, the target part to the identified parts. Based on the comparison, the processor may determine an identity of the target part. This aid may also involve a processor obtaining images of a first configuration of a partial assembly of the product captured by a mobile device camera. The processor may compare, based on the captured images, the first configuration to a correct configuration of the partial assembly. Based on the comparison, the processor may determine that the first configuration does not match the correct configuration and may notify the user accordingly.
