A computer-implemented method for configuring computing systems may include (1) detecting an event associated with a client device that potentially impacts a group to which the client device is assigned and, in response to detecting the event, (2) discovering at least one attribute of the client device that has the potential to impact the client device's group assignment, (3) identifying at least one rule that defines conditions for assigning client devices to groups, (4) determining, by applying the rule to the discovered attribute of the client device, that the client device's group assignment should be modified, and (5) modifying, in response to determining that the client device's group assignment should be modified, the client device's group assignment based on the discovered attribute of the client device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A client device hosts a behavioral engine. Using the behavioral engine, the client device analyzes behavior of a client application with respect to confidential information. The client device assigns a rating indicative of risk to the client application based on the behavior of the client application. The client device performs an action to mitigate risk of data loss if the rating exceeds a threshold.
