Abstract
Data is frequently protected by securing the data within containers that are only accessible using a specific security application. Once such data is transferred, all protections provided by the security application are lost. Methods and systems provide secured access to data by intercepting requests for access to a data files accessed via an IHS (Information Handling System) by applications operating within the operating system of the IHS. Based on condition settings stored in the data files, access privileges are determined for applications. The conditions settings include environmental conditions required for providing access to the data. If the IHS satisfies the environmental conditions specified by a data file, access to the data file may be granted. The data requests may be intercepted by a kernel process of the operating system of the IHS. The environmental conditions may specify requirements on the networks, display devices and/or software utilized by the IHS.
