| 1. In a mobile computing device, a computer-implemented system for providing protection of data accessible by a mobile computing
device comprising:
a location detection module for detecting a location associated with the network environment in which the mobile device is
operating;
a policy setting module being communicatively coupled with the location detection module for communication of the detected
location and being communicatively coupled over a network to a policy management module, the policy setting module configured
to determine at least a connection type, a network class, and a hardware brand of a network adapter on the mobile device and
a current security policy from one or more security policies received from the policy management module, the current policy
being set as a function of which of a plurality of pre-defined locations the detected location appears, the pre-defined locations
being set by the policy management module, and further being set as a function of the connection type, the network class,
and the hardware brand of the network adapter on the mobile device; and
a policy enforcement control module being communicatively coupled with the policy setting module for communication of the
current security policy to be enforced, the enforcement control module comprising one or more enforcement mechanism modules
for enforcing the current security policy.
