Abstract
The disclosure provides a wireless agent for a mobile device. In one embodiment, the example wireless agent is operable to dynamically determine an access point for wireless communications from a mobile device through a network. The wireless agent is further operable to automatically select one of a plurality of security profiles associated with a mobile device based, at least in part, on the determined access point, with each security profile including a plurality of security parameters for accessing at least one wireless network. The wireless agent then modifies at least one of plurality of network configuration options of the mobile device based on the selected security profile and automatically attempts to communicably connect the mobile device to the access point using the network configuration options.
