Abstract
A system comprising a platform protected by an always-on always-available security system is described. The system, in one embodiment, includes a core logic component to provide logic to move the platform to an armed mode upon receipt of an arming command, a battery access controller to prevent access to a battery of the platform, when the platform is in the armed mode, a disarming logic to receive a disarming command from a user, the disarming command causing the battery access controller to provide the access to the battery, such that when the platform is disarmed the battery can be accessed, whereby the system prevents removal of the battery when the platform is in the armed mode to ensure that the platform remains powered to perform a security action when needed.
