Method and system for managing security of mobile terminal
First Claim
1. A method for enabling security on a mobile terminal having a communication link with a circuit switched network against suspicious activities, the method comprising steps of:
- (a) monitoring activities performed at the mobile terminal according to a security policy which is enforced by an execution of a security agent software provided from the circuit switched network via the communication link between the mobile terminal and the circuit switched network;
(b) the mobile terminal alerting detection of a suspicious activity defined by the security policy to the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected; and
(c) changing the security policy to address the suspicious activity detected at the mobile terminal by a policy manager server of the circuit switched network and sending the changed security policy to the mobile terminal via the communication link between the mobile terminal and the circuit switched network.

Abstract
A method for enabling security on a mobile terminal having a communication link with a circuit switched network against suspicious activities is provided. Activities performed at the mobile terminal are performed according to a security policy provided from the circuit switched network. Detection of a suspicious activity is alerted to the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected. A policy manager server of the circuit switched network changes the security policy to cure the suspicious activity on the mobile terminal. Call traffic delivered to/sent from the mobile terminal is filtered out, which causes the suspicious activity according to the security policy. The mobile terminal enforces a security measure on a suspicious activity according to the security policy.

11. A system for enforcing a security policy on a mobile terminal and a circuit switched network having a communication link with the mobile terminal, the system comprising:
-
the mobile terminal having a security agent software by execution of which the mobile terminal performs monitoring activities performed on the mobile terminal and alerting a detection of a suspicious activity to the circuit switched network via the communication link with the circuit switched network when the suspicious activity is detected, wherein the security agent software is downloaded from the circuit switched network; and a message control server for controlling delivery of data for the mobile terminal according to a security policy stored in the server, wherein the security policy is updated to filter out data which relates to the suspicious activity at the mobile terminal, upon reception of the alert of the detection of the suspicious activity from the mobile terminal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
