Abstract

Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may manage a threat condition. A plurality of triggers may be identified over a period of time. Each of the triggers may be associated with a threat risk value. An accumulation value may be determined based on an aggregation of each threat risk value over the period of time. A set of progressive threshold values associated with a set of progressive threat conditions may be defined. A threat condition from the set of threat conditions may be established for the device based on the accumulation value. The threat condition may be managed, for example by defining an operational mode for the device, in response to the threat condition.
