Abstract
An apparatus, related devices and methods, having a memory element operable to store instructions; and a processor operable to execute the instructions, such that the apparatus is configured to determine, based on operating system workload demands, whether a high-demand application is running and, based on a determination that a high-demand application is running, apply an optimization policy that modifies a security application, wherein the optimization policy modification includes reducing a protection applied by the security application.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory element operable to store instructions;
- and
- a processor operable to execute the instructions, such that the apparatus is configured to
- determine whether a high-demand application is running based on detecting that operating system workload demands are high;
- apply, based on a determination that a high-demand application is running, an optimization policy that modifies a security application, wherein the optimization policy modification includes reducing a protection applied by the security application, and the optimization policy is a first optimization policy;
- and
- apply a second optimization policy that modifies a hardware configuration.
At least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium including one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- identifying operating system workload demands;
- determining whether operating system workload demands are high;
- applying, based on a determination that operating system workload demands are high based on a high-demand application, an optimization policy that modifies a security application, wherein the optimization policy modification includes removing a protection applied by the security application, and the optimization policy is a first optimization policy;
- and
- applying a second optimization policy that modifies a hardware configuration.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from an electronic device, a software configuration and a hardware configuration of the electronic device, wherein the software configuration includes a security application and a high-demand application;
- developing an optimization policy to improve performance of the high-demand application, wherein the optimization policy modifies a configuration of the security application;
- sending the optimization policy to the electronic device for implementation;
- receiving, from the electronic device, performance data collected during implementation of the optimization policy;
- determining whether the optimization policy improved performance of the high-demand application;
- and
- developing, based on a determination that the optimization policy did not improve performance of the high-demand application, an updated optimization policy, wherein the updated optimization policy is developed based on the performance data.
