Abstract

The dynamic access evaluation system receives a service request from a device seeking access to a network. The system receives information about the requester, the device from which the request is made and/or the location of the requester and the device. The system analyzes rule sets for the application being requested on the network to determine whether authentication is necessary. The system authenticates the requester based on a comparison of authorization information to information about the requester received in the request. The system authenticates the device by comparing device information in the request to historical device information. Furthermore, the system receives location information for the device and the requester and compares them to determine whether the locations are the same or similar. After granting access, the system continues to monitor information about the requester, device, or location and can terminate device access based on a change in the monitored information.
