Abstract
An approach is provided for selecting a security policy. A security policy manager determines one or more factors for adjusting a safety score associated with a device. The safety score is based, at least in part, on a context associated with the device. The security policy manager then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more factors and the safety score to calculate an adjusted safety score, and determines to select a security policy based, at least in part, on the adjusted safety score.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining one or more factors for adjusting a safety score associated with a device, wherein the safety score is based, at least in part, on a context associated with the device;
- determining one or more familiarity parameters, one or more trust parameters, or a combination thereof of respective one or more other devices associated with the context based, at least in part, on occurrence information of the respective one or more other devices within the context, wherein the occurrence information represents at least one of the one or more factors;
- processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more factors and the safety score, by a processor, to calculate an adjusted safety score based, at least in part, on adjusting the one or more familiarity parameters, the one or more trust parameters, or a combination thereof according to the one or more factors;
- and
- causing, at least in part, a selection of a security policy based, at least in part, on the adjusted safety score.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determine one or more factors for adjusting a safety score associated with a device, wherein the safety score is based, at least in part, on a context associated with the device;
- determine one or more familiarity parameters, one or more trust parameters, or a combination thereof of respective one or more other devices associated with the context based, at least in part, on occurrence information of the respective one or more other devices within the context, wherein the occurrence information represents at least one of the one or more factors;
- process and/or facilitate a processing of the one or more factors and the safety score to calculate an adjusted safety score based, at least in part, on adjusting the one or more familiarity parameters, the one or more trust parameters, or a combination thereof according to the one or more factors;
- and
- determine to select a security policy based, at least in part, on the adjusted safety score.
