Abstract
A system and method for dynamic security access. A dynamic security system receives a resource request from a user. The dynamic security system computes a dynamic user security value using a user security formula and user attribute values corresponding to the user. In addition, the dynamic security system computes a resource security value using a resource security formula and resource attribute values corresponding to the resource. Once computed, the dynamic security system compares the dynamic user security value with the resource security value and, if the dynamic user security value is greater than or equal to the resource security value, the dynamic security system grants resource to the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a resource request from a user, the resource request corresponding to a resource;
- computing a dynamic user security value that corresponds to the user;
- computing a resource security value that corresponds to the resource;
- determining whether to grant the user access to the resource based upon the dynamic user security value and the resource security value;
- and
- granting the user access to the resource in response to the determination.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer operable medium having computer readable code, the computer readable code being effective to:
- receive a resource request from a user, the resource request corresponding to a resource;
- compute a dynamic user security value that corresponds to the user;
- compute a resource security value that corresponds to the resource;
- determine whether to grant the user access to the resource based upon the dynamic user security value and the resource security value;
- and
- grant the user access to the resource in response to the determination.
An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory accessible by the processors;
- one or more nonvolatile storage devices accessible by the processors;
- and
- a dynamic security access tool for granting user access to resources, the dynamic security access tool being effective to:
- receive a resource request from a user, the resource request corresponding to a resource;
- compute a dynamic user security value that corresponds to the user;
- compute a resource security value that corresponds to the resource;
- determine whether to grant the user access to the resource based upon the dynamic user security value and the resource security value;
- and
- grant the user access to the resource located in one of the nonvolatile storage devices in response to the determination.
