Abstract
A secure connection is facilitated between a device and a network. A security buffer device is used to determine an available network and connect to the network. The security buffer device can then allow the device to connect to the network via the security buffer device. The security buffer device can monitor any security breaches from the network and perform an action based on the indication of a security breach.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- based on global positioning system data associated with a network device of a network, connecting, by a first device comprising a processor, to the network device of the network to establish a secure channel, wherein the secure channel eliminates a security risk that a non-secure channel does not eliminate;
- based on the global positioning system data associated with the network device, determining, by the first device, that the first device is in a previous location associated with a first security breach relating to the network device at a prior time to a current time;
- in response to the determining, displaying, by the first device, warning data associated with the security risk and indicative of a warning that there has been a change of status of the second device based on the security risk, via a display screen of the first device;
- in response to the determining, modifying, by the first device, a channel status, associated with the non-secure channel, to indicate that the non-secure channel is associated with the first security breach;
- receiving, by the first device, a request from a second device to connect to the network device of the network using the secure channel;
- in response to the request, enabling, by the first device, a communication between the second device and the network device of the network via the secure channel;
- sending, by the first device, message data related to the first security breach to the second device via the secure channel;
- monitoring, by the first device, the secure channel for an indication of a second security breach associated with the previous location;
- and
- performing, by the first device, an action based on the indication of the second security breach.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- based on location data of a first device, facilitating establishing a secure channel between the first device and a network device of an available network, wherein the secure channel mitigates a security risk relative to an unsecure channel that does not mitigate the security risk;
- based on the location data, determining that the first device is in a previous location associated with a first security breach;
- in response to the determining, modifying a channel status, associated with the unsecure channel, to indicate that the unsecure channel is associated with the first security breach;
- based on a request from a second device, facilitating establishment of a second secure connection between the second device and the first device;
- sending message data related to the first security breach to the second device via the second secure connection;
- monitoring the secure channel for a first indication of a second security breach associated with the location data;
- and
- based on the first indication of the second security breach, enabling a communication between the second device and the network device of the available network via the secure channel and facilitating displaying, via the first device, warning data associated with the security risk and a second indication that there has been a change of a status of the second device based on the security risk.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- based on global positioning system data related to a global positioning system location of a first network device of an available network, connecting to the first network device to establish a secure channel, wherein the secure channel eliminates a security risk that a non-secure channel does not eliminate;
- based on the global positioning system data, determining, that the first network device is in a previous location associated with a first security breach;
- in response to the determining, modifying a channel status, associated with the non-secure channel, to indicate that the non-secure channel is associated with the first security breach;
- receiving a request from a second network device to connect to the first network device of the available network using the secure channel;
- in response to the request, enabling a communication between the second network device and the first network device of the available network via the secure channel;
- sending message data related to the first security breach to the second network device via the secure channel;
- monitoring the secure channel for an indication of a second security breach associated with the previous location;
- and
- performing an action based on the indication of the second security breach, wherein the performing the action comprises facilitating displaying warning data indicative that there has been a change of a status of the second network device based on the security risk.
