Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting a computer during a period of increased vulnerability. In one implementation, a method for protecting a computer is provided. The method includes monitoring a computing device having an first security state for one or more events indicating a time period of increased vulnerability. The method includes adjusting one or more security policies in response to the one or more events to generate a second security state. The method also includes identifying an end of the time of increased vulnerability, and restoring the computing to the first security state. In one implementation, the computer is an embedded device.
