In an example, there is disclosed a computing apparatus having: a network interface to communicate with a second device; a contextual data interface to receive and store contextual data; and one or more logic elements comprising a contextual security agent, operable to: receive a contextual data packet via the network interface; compare the contextual data packet to stored contextual data; and act on the comparing. The contextual data packet may optionally be provided out of band, and may be used to authenticate a substantive data packet, such as a patch or update.
