    Abstract: Wireless communication device and methods for operating the same. One wireless communication device includes an electronic processor configured to operate the wireless communication device in a first security mode of a plurality of available security modes. The electronic processor is also configured to evaluate one or more environmental context parameters associated with the wireless communication device, determine, based on the environmental context parameters, whether communications of the wireless communication device are susceptible to a potential cyber-security threat, and, in response to determining the communications of the wireless communication device are susceptible to the potential cyber-security threat, transition the wireless communication device to a second security mode of the plurality of available security modes to determine whether the potential cyber-security threat is present, wherein at least one selected from a group consisting of the frequency scanning feature and the frequency hopping feature is enabled in the second security mode.
