Abstract

Context information associated with a mobile communications device and a network connection for the mobile communications device is collected. A security policy is applied to determine whether the security offered by the network connection is appropriate for the context. If the security offered by the network connection is not appropriate for the context, the network connection may be made more secure, less secure, or a different network connection having an appropriate level of security may be used for the data associated with the context.
