Abstract
A computer-implemented method to assign a security policy is described. A plurality of components of a device are detected. An individual reputation for each of the plurality of components is determined. An overall reputation is determined based on the individual reputations. A security policy is assigned based at least in part on the overall reputation. In some cases, access to at least one component on the device is restricted according to the security policy.
