Dynamic security shielding through a network resource

A computer-implemented method of providing services, comprising acts of:

• receiving a risk beacon at a client associated with a need for a protection service;
• detecting available remote resources of a wireless network for the service;
• selecting a first resource of the available remote resources;
• redirecting client traffic to the first resource over the wireless network;
• processing the client traffic through the service to protect the client;
• disconnecting the client from the first resource when the protection service is no longer needed;
• and
• utilizing a processor to execute instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of receiving, detecting, selecting, redirecting, processing, or disconnecting.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• a host component operating without intrusion protection software;
• a detection component of the host component for detecting a risk beacon associated with a risk of an intrusion threat;
• a proxy component, operating with intrusion protection software, for redirecting traffic to the host component, thereby providing intrusion protection to the host component until protection provided by the proxy component is no longer needed, thereafter the host component disconnects from the proxy component;
• and
• a processor operable to execute computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the host component, the detection component, or the proxy component.
