Abstract
A widget security system, method and computer-readable medium detects a security event associated with a widget, assesses the risk associated with the security event, and initiates a security action based on the assessed risk.
Claims19
A widget security method, comprising:
- detecting a security event associated with a widget;
- generating data indicative of the security event;
- processing the data to determine a risk level associated with the detected security event, where the risk level is determined by an action selected from a group of actions consisting of reviewing information associated with the widget, comparing widget information with a user profile, and examining programming code associated with the widget;
- initiating a security action based on the risk level,
- where the detecting, generating, processing and initiating are performed by one or more processors of a hardware device.
2 more elements
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor in a widget security system, causes the processor to perform the operations of:
- detecting a security event associated with a widget;
- determining a risk level associated with the detected security event, where the risk level is determined by an action selected from a group of actions consisting of reviewing information associated with the widget, comparing widget information with a user profile, and examining programming code associated with the widget;
- and
- performing a security action based on the risk level.
1 more element
A widget security system, comprising:
- a widget security manager configured for detecting a security event associated with a widget;
- a security module coupled to the widget security manager and configured for determining a risk level associated with the detected security event, where the risk level is determined by an action selected from a group of actions consisting of reviewing information associated with the widget, comparing widget information with a user profile, and examining programming code associated with the widget;
- and
- a security action manager coupled to the widget security manager and configured for initiating a security action based on the assessed risk.
