Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for dynamically managing hardening policies in a client computer (e.g., of an enterprise network). A hardening management application monitors activity on the client computer that is associated with a first hardening policy. The monitored activity is evaluated based on one or more metrics. Upon determining that at least one of the metrics is outside of a tolerance specified in the first hardening policy, the client computer is associated with a second hardening policy. The client computer is reconfigured based on the second hardening policy.
