Abstract
Systems and methods for providing security services during a power management mode are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises detecting with a mobile security system a wake event on a mobile device, providing from the mobile security system a wake signal, the providing being in response to the wake event to wake a mobile device from a power management mode, and managing with the mobile security system security services of the mobile device. Managing security services may comprise scanning a hard drive of the mobile devices for viruses and/or other malware. Managing security services may also comprise updating security applications or scanning the mobile device for unauthorized data.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- detecting, using a mobile security system, a wake event associated with a mobile device, the mobile security system having a mobile security system processor different than a mobile device processor of the mobile device, the mobile security system being a first computer system, the mobile device being a second computer system, the first computer system and the second computer system being separate computer systems;
- providing, using the mobile security system, a wake signal in response to the wake event, the wake signal waking the mobile device from a power management mode;
- and
- executing security instructions, using the mobile security system, to perform security services on the mobile device after waking the mobile device from the power management mode and in response to the wake event, the security instructions being stored on the mobile security system.
A mobile security system, comprising:
- a mobile security system processor;
- a connection mechanism for connecting to a data port of a mobile device and for communicating with the mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile device processor different than the mobile security system processor, the mobile security system being a first computer system, the mobile device being a second computer system, the first computer system and the second computer system being separate computer systems;
- and
- a security engine configured to detect a wake event associated with the mobile device, provide a wake signal in response to the wake event, the wake signal waking the mobile device from a power management mode, and execute security instructions to perform security services on the mobile device after waking the mobile device from the power management mode and in response to the wake event, the security instructions being stored on the mobile security system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions, the executable instructions executable by a processor to perform:
- detecting, using a mobile security system, a wake event associated with a mobile device, the mobile security system having a mobile security system processor different than a mobile device processor of the mobile device, the mobile security system being a first computer system, the mobile device being a second computer system, the first computer system and the second computer system being separate computer systems;
- providing, using the mobile security system, a wake signal in response to the wake event, the wake signal waking the mobile device from a power management mode;
- and
- executing security instructions, using the mobile security system, to perform security services on the mobile device after waking the mobile device from the power management mode and in response to the wake event, the security instructions being stored on the mobile security system.
