Abstract
A computerized method for enforcing a set of policies on a first network device is disclosed. The computerized method includes operations by logic processing on the first network device including detecting movement of the first network at a speed above a predetermined threshold and 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 sensory data associated with the first network device, determining that the sensory data violates a first policy of the set of policies, and responsive to determining that the sensory data violates the first policy, transmitting an alert to an administrator. An additional operation includes transmitting a message to the wireless transceiver to perform a scan for additional network devices.
