Monitoring access to a location

A computer implemented method for monitoring access to a location, comprising:

• determining whether an access event associated with a location is an anomalous access event;
• assessing the anomalous access event upon determining the access event is an anomalous access event, wherein assessing the anomalous access event includes determining an anomaly classification confidence associated with the anomalous access event, wherein the anomaly classification confidence includes a value having one or more numbers or letters therein, the value representing a confidence level associated with the determination that the access event is an anomalous access event;
• changing a pre-existing access policy for the location if the value of the anomaly classification confidence meets or exceeds a pre-defined threshold;
• and
• preventing a subsequent access event to the location from occurring based on the changed access policy for the location.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:

• assess an anomalous access event associated with a location, wherein the assessment includes:
• determining an anomaly severity associated with the anomalous access event, wherein the anomaly severity includes a value having one or more numbers or letters therein, the value representing an amount of seriousness with which the anomalous access event should be treated;
• and
• determining an anomaly classification confidence associated with the anomalous access event, wherein the anomaly classification confidence includes a value having one or more numbers or letters therein, the value representing a confidence level associated with the determination that the access event is an anomalous access event;
• change a pre-existing access policy for the location if the value of the anomaly severity meets or exceeds a pre-defined threshold or if the value of the anomaly classification confidence meets or exceeds a pre-defined threshold;
• and
• prevent a subsequent access event to the location from occurring based on the changed access policy for the location.
