1. A method for controlling security during operation of a computerized device, the method comprising:

  • enforcing a first security policy during first operational state of the computerized device, enforcement of the first security policy providing a first level access to resources within the computerized device by processes operating in the computerized device;

    detecting a transition operation of the computerized device that occurs during enforcement of the first security policy, the transition operation indicating that operation of the computerized device is transitioning from the first operational state to a second operational state;

    in response to detection of the transition operation, enforcing a second security policy corresponding to the second operational state to provide a level of access to the resources within the computerized device that corresponds to the second operational state during operation of the second operational state; and

    repeating the steps of detecting a transition operation and enforcing a second security policy corresponding to the second operational state for a plurality of operational states of the computerized device such that as operation of the computer system transitions from operational state to operational state, different security policies corresponding to those operational states are enforced during operation of those states.
