Abstract
Techniques are provided for device protection using a configuration lockdown mode. One method comprises receiving a configuration command from a user for a device; determining, responsive to receiving the configuration command, if the device is in a configuration lockdown mode that limits an execution of one or more configuration commands; and performing one or more automated remedial actions in response to determining that the device is in the configuration lockdown mode, such as generating a configuration lockdown alert. A configuration manager associated with the device may (i) determine if a duration of a disabling of the configuration lockdown mode violates one or more duration limits, and/or (ii) determine if the device is in the configuration lockdown mode.
