Systems and methods for applying a security policy to a device based on a comparison of locations

摘要

Location information associated with a computing device may be received by a server. The server may compare the current location of the computing device with a set of locations associated with the computing device. The comparison may result in a determination that the computing device is in a location that has been identified in the set of locations. In response to such a determination, a particular security policy may be applied to the computing device. For example, the server may transmit a command to the computing device to apply a security policy associated with the location.
