Location-based adaptive device security system and method

A method of protecting computing devices operating in a network from security threats, the method comprising:

• monitoring a plurality of data security events on a plurality of mobile computing devices;
• monitoring a plurality of geographic locations of the plurality of mobile computing devices comprising a plurality of geographic positions of the plurality of mobile computing devices when the plurality of data security events occurred;
• determining a plurality of demographic information of the plurality of geographic positions;
• training at least one classifier based on the plurality of data security events and the plurality of demographic information;
• determining a particular mobile computing device is located at a particular geographic location;
• determining particular demographic information of the particular geographic location;
• applying the at least one classifier to the particular demographic information;
• generating a particular security risk prediction of the particular geographic location at least based on the applying of the at least one classifier;
• and
• activating a particular security measure on the particular mobile computing device based on the particular security risk prediction.
