Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of systems and methods for platform framework security state management are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) collects context information that describes logical and physical environments in which the IHS is operating. This context information is used to determine a security state for the IHS. A launch of a resource of the IHS is detected. In response, updated context information is collected that further describes the logical and physical environments. Based on the security state, the launched resource and the updated context information, an updated security state of the IHS is determined. Based on the updated security state, changes are determined to security policies that are used to operate hardware devices of the IHS. Platform framework participants are identified that are registered users of the security polices affected by the updated security state, and these participants are notified of the security policy changes.
