1. A method comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of a wake event by a security system processor of a security system, the occurrence of the wake event adapted to trigger performance of one or more security services on a mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile device processor different than the security system processor of the security system, at least a portion of the mobile device being in a power management mode when the occurrence of the wake event is detected;
providing a wake signal by the security system processor of the security system to the mobile device, the wake signal being in response to the wake event and adapted to wake the at least a portion of the mobile device from the power management mode; and
after providing the wake signal to the mobile device, executing security instructions by the security system processor of the security system to cause the at least a portion of the mobile device to perform the one or more security services configured to protect the mobile device or to protect data on the mobile device, the security instructions being stored on the security system.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing security services during a power management mode are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises detecting with a mobile security system a wake event on a mobile device, providing from the mobile security system a wake signal, the providing being in response to the wake event to wake a mobile device from a power management mode, and managing with the mobile security system security services of the mobile device. Managing security services may comprise scanning a hard drive of the mobile devices for viruses and/or other malware. Managing security services may also comprise updating security applications or scanning the mobile device for unauthorized data.
