Abstract
An apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates security at a wireless device, such as a wireless device comprising a mobile computing platform. A security decision engine is provided that monitors for an event necessitating a security decision. When a security decision is required, request is made of a knowledge fetcher, provided by a trusted third-party, installed at the wireless device for the security decision. The knowledge fetcher obtains the security decision, such as by obtaining the security decision from a remote, trusted third-party server, and provides the security decision to the decision engine. Use is made of the security decision pursuant to a setting for which the security decision is needed.
