Method for safety responses to security policy violations

A method comprising, at a security agent executing on a computing platform comprising a set of resources, an operating system, and a first application:

• during a first time period:
• authenticating the security agent with a security device based on first identity information associated with the security agent, the first identity information stored on the security device;
• in response to authenticating the security agent, accessing a configuration profile from the security device, the first configuration profile defining:
• second identity information associated with the operating system;
• third identity information associated with the first application;
• and
• a first security policy defining:
• a subset of resources, in the set of resources, to which the first application is permitted access;
• and
• a first action responsive to a first violation of the first security policy;
• authenticating the operating system based on the second identity information;
• and
• authenticating the first application based on the third identity information;
• and
• during a second time period succeeding the first time period:
• monitoring the set of resources responsive to execution of the first application on the computing platform;
• and
• executing the first action in response to detecting an access by the first application to a first resource in the set of resources, the first resource excluded from the subset of resources.
