I wrote https://github.com/isecpartners/yontma-mac to auto-hiberate your MAC if your screensaver is on and it gets unplugged from power or network. Could help mitigate against a cold-boot attack or something similar.

It's not bullet-proof though, people have reported problems with it although it works fine for me most of the time. The main problem seems to be sometimes instead of hibernating it will shut down.
