Source device autonomous security from security threat on peered receiving device during peer-to-peer application streaming

Abstract

An electronic device, computer program product, and method provide autonomous protection from security threat on peered receiving device(s) during peer-to-peer application streaming. A device processor of the electronic device: establishes a streaming session over a connection established with a secondary electronic device via a communication interface; receives first security threat information from the second electronic device; analyzes the first security threat information to determine whether the secondary electronic device is vulnerable to any security threats; and in response to the first security threat information indicating that the secondary electronic device is vulnerable to at least one security threat: (i) generates and output an alert indicating a vulnerability of the secondary electronic device to the at least one security threat; and (ii) applies one or more types of restriction to the streaming session to restrict access to one or more portions of the information at the secondary electronic device.
