Abstract
Methods, systems and computer readable media for location-based endpoint security are described.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at an endpoint device, access point location information for one or more access points;
- determining, at the endpoint device, an endpoint location of the endpoint device based on the access point location information and signal characteristics of wireless signals received by the endpoint device from at least one of the one or more access points;
- and
- applying, at the endpoint device, one or more data communication policies based on the endpoint location and the access point location information.
1 more element
A threat management system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a nontransitory computer readable medium coupled to the one or more processors, the nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- receiving, at an endpoint device, access point location information for one or more access points;
- determining, at the endpoint device, an endpoint location of the endpoint device based on the access point location information and signal characteristics of wireless signals received by the endpoint device from at least one of the one or more access points;
- and
- applying, at the endpoint device, one or more data communication policies based on the endpoint location and the access point location information.
