Abstract
System calls to a kernel of a mobile computing device are monitored. A particular system call is intercepted relating to input/output (I/O) functionality of the mobile computing device. A data loss prevention (DLP) policy is identified that is applicable to the particular system call. An action is performed on the particular system call based at least in part on the DLP policy.

26. At least one machine accessible storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed on a machine, cause the machine to:
-
intercept a system call involving photograph data to a kernel of a mobile computing device; identify a location-based data loss prevention (DLP) policy applicable to use of the photograph data, based at least in part on a detected location of the mobile computing device; and perform an action on the intercepted system call based at least in part on the location-based DLP policy and the location of the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
