Policy-based user device security checks

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform a set of acts for performing policy-based user device security checks, the set of acts comprising:

• establishing a trust policy that governs interactions over a plurality of content objects in a collaboration system that manages sharing of the plurality of content objects with multiple users at corresponding user devices;
• receiving a content object from a first user device, the content object being uploaded to the collaboration system;
• sharing the content object with a second user;
• gathering, upon receiving an interaction event raised by a second user device of the second user, a set of interaction attributes associated with interaction event;
• applying the trust policy to the interaction attributes to determine security conditions that correspond to the interaction events;
• and
• generating responses to the interaction events, the responses being generated based at least in part on the security conditions.

A system for performing policy-based user device security checks, the system comprising:

• a storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in a collaboration system that manages a plurality of content objects that are shared by multiple users at corresponding user devices, the one or more processors to execute the sequence of instructions to cause the one or more processors to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising,
• establishing a trust policy that governs interactions over a plurality of content objects in a collaboration system that manages sharing of the plurality of content objects with multiple users at corresponding user devices;
• receiving a content object from a first user device, the content object being uploaded to the collaboration system;
• sharing the content object with a second user;
• gathering, upon receiving an interaction event raised by a second user device of the second user, a set of interaction attributes associated with interaction event;
• applying the trust policy to the interaction attributes to determine security conditions that correspond to the interaction events;
• and
• generating responses to the interaction events, the responses being generated based at least in part on the security conditions.
