Monitoring tool for detecting violations of device behavior constraints

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing given device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
• the at least one processing given device being configured to implement the following steps:
• obtaining at least one processor-readable device behavior constraint that limits one or more behaviors of the at least one processing device;
• monitoring at least one action performed by the at least one processing device;
• determining if the at least one monitored action of the at least one processing device violates the at least one processor-readable device behavior constraint;
• and
• initiating at least one automated action in response to a result of the determining.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing given device causes the at least one processing given device to perform the following steps:

• obtaining at least one processor-readable device behavior constraint that limits one or more behaviors of the at least one processing device;
• monitoring at least one action performed by the at least one processing device;
• determining if the at least one monitored action of the at least one processing device violates the at least one processor-readable device behavior constraint;
• and
• initiating at least one automated action in response to a result of the determining.
