CONTEXT-AWARE RISK MEASUREMENT MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile device management server and method are provided for determining the security risk for deployed mobile devices. The mobile device management server receives risk measurements from mobile devices that are used to calculate a risk score based on rules. The risk score can also be adjusted by correlating the received risk measurements with past security breaches or typical usage measurements. The calculated risk score is compared to a one or more thresholds to determine whether to take a protective action that is associated with exceeding a threshold.
