Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a method performed by a wireless network to mitigate a security risk arising from an application-layer transaction and contextual scenario of a wireless device (WD). A security resource can be maintained inactive by default and configured for on-demand activation in response to a security risk associated with the WD. The method can include monitoring the WD for application-layer transactions and contextual scenarios, and detecting a security risk relative to a particular type of a application-layer transaction and a contextual scenario of the WD. In response to detecting the security risk, the security resource is activated to support the application-layer transaction while safeguarding the entire wireless network. In response to detecting a change to the application-layer transaction or the particular contextual scenario, the security resource for the WD can be deactivated.
