Claim 13:
14. A system comprising a server and device, a processor of the device is configured to:
monitor, by a security agent that is installed on the device, communication between the device and external devices, wherein the external devices comprise at least a first device and a second device;
determine a first level of in-device protection for the first device;
determine a second level of in-device protection for the second device, wherein the second level is a higher protection level than the first level, the second level is determined based on a determination that the second device is not protected by any security agent that is trusted by the security agent;
employ, by the security agent, a first security policy for communications originating from the first device, wherein the first security policy is determined based on the first level of in-device protection;
employ, by the security agent, a second security policy for communications originating from the second device, wherein the second security policy is determined based on the second level of in-device protection, wherein the second policy utilizes more resources than the first security policy;
initiate a communication from the device to the second device, wherein the communication is configured to cause the second device to identify an irregular communication, whereby inducing the second device to report the irregular communication to the server, wherein the reported irregular communication is configured to be processed by the server as a request to install a new security agent on the second device; and
after determining that the new security agent is protecting the second device, employing the first security policy for communications originating from the second device.
