Abstract
Techniques are provided for device protection using pre-execution command interception and evaluation. One method comprises obtaining, by a software entity associated with an operating system kernel of a device, a command from a user prior to an execution of the command; providing, by the software entity associated with the operating system kernel, a request to an approval entity to evaluate whether to execute the command; and initiating the execution of the command based on a result of the evaluation, by the approval entity, of whether to execute the command. The approval entity may be identified by accessing a registry of one or more users that are authorized to provide an authorization to execute the command. The evaluation of whether to execute the command may comprise one or more tasks specified by a policy.
