Abstract
A method, system and computer-usable medium for authorizing access to a secure location are disclosed. Data indicative of security-related activities (e.g., badging in and/or out of a secure building) can be compiled and then mined to deduce a particular pattern of security-related activities. Access to the secure location can be then authorized, based on the particular pattern of security-related activities.
