Abstract
A technique to enforce mobile device security policy is based on a 'risk profile' of the individual device, where the risk profile is fine-grained and based on the types of applications installed on the device, the services they are accessing, and the operation(s) the user granted the device authorization to perform. Thus, the approach takes into account not only the actual applications installed on the device (and those actively in use), but also the services those applications are accessing, and the scope of operations the user has granted the device authorization to perform. By combining this information to create the risk profile, a suitable security policy, including one that does not unnecessarily degrade device usability, may then be applied.
