Abstract
A computing device includes a security control module to monitor and control security of the operating system and security of one or more applications executing within the operating system. The security control module transmits to a remote security server a policy identifier, which identifies a security policy that applies to the operating system and to the applications. The security control module receives from the remote security server a unique cryptographic key. The security control module periodically retrieves from the security server a set of commands selected by the remote security server according to the security policy and current conditions. The security control module executes each command. Each command either modifies execution of an executable program or process, collects information, or performs an action that modifies data associated with the operating system, data associated with the security control module, or data associated with the one or more applications.
