Method and system for protecting content in a programmable system is provided. The system is connectable to an external device through one or more access ports. Content protection method/manager is implemented by assigning one or more access modes to the access port and switching the access modes. In response to a current access mode, the content protection method/manager restricts visibility of the system to the external device via the access port.
