Techniques for dynamic enpoint secure location awareness

Abstract

Techniques for dynamic endpoint secure location awareness may include determining that a mobile device changed locations. A platform security engine in the mobile device may dynamically send a location query. A location response may be received. The platform security engine may determine whether the mobile device is located in a secure location based on the location response. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
