Abstract
For increased device security, a security policy manager is used to configure permissions for applications installed on mobile computing devices. In one approach, an evaluation server receives data associated with a context for a computing device. Based on the received data, a policy that is applicable for the current context of the computing device is identified. The identified policy has rules regarding access permissions for software installed on computing devices. The server determines a current policy implemented on the computing device, which includes determining an access permission for software installed on the computing device. The server determines that the access permission for the installed software does not comply with the policy applicable to the current context. Based on this determination, the server revokes the access permission for the installed software.
