A portable information device (PID) having a security module that conducts security-related functionality. At least some of the security-related functionality for the benefit of the PID is provided by a security team of at least one other PID. In one type of arrangement, when configured in a team processing mode, certain ones of the security functions or components operating for the benefit of the PID can be processed on one or more of the security team member devices. In another type of arrangement, the team of devices exchanges security-related information determined as a result of a single team member device's processing of one or more security-related tasks.

Team security for portable information devices

A portable information device includes a dynamically configurable security arrangement in which operational settings are automatically and dynamically configured based on a current set of security risks to which the device is exposed, on a current computing capacity of the portable information device, or both. The operational settings can be adjusted to control which security services or functions are to be executed locally by portable information device, and which of the security services or functions are to be executed remotely on at least one computing device that is distinct from the portable information device.

Self-delegating security arrangement for portable information devices

A portable information device includes a dynamically configurable security arrangement in which operational settings are automatically and dynamically configured for either thick client or thin client protection schemes based at least in part on the current location of the device.

Adaptive security for portable information devices

An information device includes a dynamically configurable security module in which operational settings are automatically and dynamically configured based on risk profile or computing capacity information, or both.
