Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system provides security for a device and includes at least one processor. The system monitors a plurality of networked devices for a security risk. Each networked device is associated with a corresponding security risk tolerance. In response to a monitored security risk for one or more of the plurality of networked devices exceeding the corresponding risk tolerance, a network service is initiated to perform one or more actions on each of the one or more networked devices to alleviate the associated security risk. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for providing security to a device in substantially the same manner described above.
