Abstract
A computing device configured for enforcing a computing device power policy is described. The computing device includes a processor and executable instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The computing device generates a power policy. The computing device also sends the power policy. The computing device further receives a suspicious process alert. Additionally, the computing device determines whether to terminate a suspicious process. The computing device also sends a process termination command if it is determined to terminate the suspicious process.
Claims20
A computing device configured for enforcing a computing device power policy, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- generate a power policy;
- send the power policy to a managed node over a network;
- receive a suspicious process alert from the managed node across the network, wherein the suspicious process alert indicates a process that has been designated a suspicious process;
- determine whether to terminate the suspicious process;
- and
- send a process termination command if it is determined to terminate the suspicious process.
A computing device configured for complying with a computing device power policy, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to:
- receive a power policy via a network;
- determine whether to enter a power save mode based on the power policy and any suspicious process, and if it is determined to enter the power save mode, then:
- enter the power save mode;
- determine whether to enter an active mode;
- and
- enter the active mode if it is determined to enter the active mode.
