Method and System for Dynamically Controlling Access to a Network

A computer-implemented method for dynamically evaluating access by a device to a computer network, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a request for access to the network from a device;
• receiving information about the device making the request;
• comparing the device information to historical device information;
• determining whether the device is authentic based on the comparison of the device information to the historical device information;
• generating an authentication score based on the comparison of the device information to historical device information;
• and
• determining whether to grant network access to the device based on the authentication score.

A computer-implemented method for dynamically evaluating access by a device to a computer network, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a request for access to the network from a requester at a device;
• receiving a device location;
• receiving a requester location;
• comparing the location of the device to the location of the requester to determine whether they are substantially similar;
• and
• granting access to the network at the device based on a positive determination that the device location and the requester location are substantially similar.

A system for dynamically evaluating access by a device to a computer network comprising

• a first logic component for receiving information about a requester using the device and determining the authenticity of the requester;
• a second logic component for receiving information about the device making a request to access the network and determine whether the device is authentic;
• and
• a third logic component for receiving information about a location of the device and a location of the requester and determining whether the locations of the device and the requester are substantially similar.

A computer-implemented method for dynamically evaluating access by a requester to a computer network, comprising the steps of:

• determining a first authentication information for the requester at a first period in time;
• determining a second authentication information for the requester at a second period in time while the requester is accessing the network;
• comparing the first authentication information to the second authentication information;
• identifying a change between the first and second authentication information for the requester;
• and
• determining whether to terminate the requester's access to the network at the device based on the change.

A computer-implemented method for dynamically evaluating access by a device to a computer network, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a first set of information about the device making the request at a first period of time;
• receiving a second set of information about the device at a second period of time, while the device is accessing the network;
• comparing the first set of information about the device to the second set of information about the device;
• identifying a change between the first and second set of information;
• and
• determining whether to terminate the device's access to the network based on the change.

A system for dynamically evaluating access by a device to a computer network comprising:

• a first logic component for receiving information about a requester using the device and determining the authenticity of the requester;
• a second logic component for receiving information about the device making a request to access the network and determine whether the device is authentic;
• a third logic component for receiving information about a location of the device and a location of the requester and determining whether the locations of the device and the requester are substantially similar;
• a policy engine for receiving information from at least one of the first, second, and third logic components at a first period of time and updated information from at least one of the first, second, and third logic components at a second period of time, while the device is accessing the network, wherein the information and the updated information are compared to identify a change and a determination is made whether to terminate access by the device to the network based on the change.
