Abstract

A method for preventing unauthorized access of privileged operations of a first device. The method provides for one or more processors to detect an initiating action of a privileged operation of a first device. The one or more processors receive a current location of the first device. The one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined location matches the current location of the first device. In response to determining the current location of the first device fails to match the predetermined location, the one or more processors determine whether a pre-determined connection condition exists between the first device and an authorized device, and in response to determining an absence of the pre-determined connection condition between the first device and the authorized device, the one or more processors perform a first action disabling the privileged operation of the first device.
