Abstract
A method of enforcing security and confidentiality on a communications device using a dynamic interface application comprises a first external device receiving a first message from a second external device indicating that the security of the communications device has been compromised, and the first external device authenticating the first message and processing the instructions contained in the first message to safeguard content marked confidential. The method also comprises the first external device sending a second message to a device security component executing on the communications device, the second message containing instructions to render inaccessible tiles marked confidential by one of deleting and temporarily disabling access to marked tiles, and disable selected functionality of the dynamic interface application and underlying communications functionality of the communications device until receiving further instruction. The method also comprises the device security component carrying out the instructions contained in the second message.
