Elevated security execution mode for network-accessible devices

Abstract

Various aspects related to methods, systems, and computer readable media for detection and blocking of security threats for network-accessible devices. Methods may include monitoring a plurality of processes executing on the user device to identify a pre-execution flag associated with at least one process of the plurality of processes, and, responsive to identifying the pre-execution flag: receiving an indication of a security threat to the user device, the indication of security threat associated with the at least one process and a device threat type, responsive to the receiving the indication of the security threat, elevating security measures associated with the user device for a first time period, and after the elevating, automatically remediating the security threat on the user device within the first time period.
