1. A system to provide anti-theft protection for a platform, the system comprising:

  • a storage device to store data of the platform;

    full disk encryption logic to encrypt the data of the storage device;

    a risk behavior logic to use interface data to detect a potential problem when the data is not encrypted, the interface data comprising at least one of wireless interface data and global positioning system (GPS) data;

    a core logic component to analyze the potential problem and to trigger a security action when the detected potential problem indicates a theft suspicion based on movement of the platform detected from the interface data; and

    security action logic to cause the platform to attempt a transition to a first reduced power state when triggered by the core logic component in response to a triggered security action, the transition causing the data to be encrypted, wherein the security action logic is to detect when the transition to the first reduced power state is unsuccessful within a period, and force the system into an OFF state.
