Abstract
A system for enforcing a set of policies on a first network device is shown. The system includes logic configured for processing on the first network device and a wireless transceiver to communicatively couple with the first network device. The logic, while processing on the first network device, performs operations including: detecting the first network device is moving at a speed above a predetermined threshold and a presence of a wireless transceiver, implementing the set of policies on the first network device, wherein implementation of the set of policies is configured to restrict functionality of the first network device according to a predefined list of functionalities, monitoring first sensory data associated with the first network device, determining that the first sensory data violates a first policy of the set of policies, and responsive to determining that the first sensory data violates the first policy, transmitting an alert.
