Abstract
A method for implementing adaptive policy based computer security is described. In one embodiment, the method may include monitoring a behavior of a user on a computing device associated with the user, determining whether the user triggers one or more policy triggers associated with a broad policy or at least one sub-policy of the broad policy, or both, and upon determining the user triggers at least one policy trigger during the monitoring period, implementing a customized version of the broad policy on the computing device. In some cases, the method may include implementing the broad policy on the computing device upon determining the user does not trigger any of the one or more policy triggers. In other cases, the method may include triggering at least one of the policy triggers based at least in part on a requested action and determining whether the requested action includes a security threat.
