1. A method comprising:
- monitoring, by a device agent executing on an access device, at least a subset of device activity, the subset of device activity comprising one or more activities, wherein each of the one or more activities originates at the access device in response to usage of the access device;
capturing by the device agent an activity of the subset of device activity originating at the access device, the activity comprising a communication generated by the access device to be transmitted from the access device;
determining, by the device agent at the access device in response to capturing the activity, whether the activity satisfies at least one condition specified by a policy; and
executing, by the device agent at the access device, at least one action in the policy associated with the satisfied condition.

25. An access device comprising:
-
one or more policies, each policy including a logical combination of one or more conditions and one or more actions; device agent logic adapted to monitor device activities, capture an activity on the device originating at the access device in response to usage of the device, the activity comprising a communication generated by the device to be transmitted from the device, determine in response to capturing the activity whether the activity satisfies at least one condition specified by at least one of the one or more policies, and execute at least one action in the policy associated with the satisfied condition; and a communication interface adapted to transmit and receive communications. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A machine-readable medium having stored therein a series of executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a process comprising:
-
monitoring, by a device agent executing on an access device, at least a subset of device activity, the subset of device activity comprising one or more activities, wherein each of the one or more activities originates at the access device in response to usage of the access device; capturing by the device agent an activity of the subset of device activity originating at the access device, the activity comprising a communication generated by the access device to be transmitted from the access device; determining, by the device agent at the access device in response to capturing the activity, whether the activity satisfies at least one condition specified by a policy; and executing, by the device agent at the access device, at least one action in the policy associated with the satisfied condition. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
