An Interceptor identifies requests to access a protected function or resource and dynamically invokes one or more additional authentication tests. The Interceptor for example can be configured as a plug-in for an email client, or can be integrated with native application code (or web content). The authentication tests in one implementation test inherence features, such as biometrics of a user seeking resource access. The authentication tests can be static or dynamically configured by one or more rules, and the protected functions can be designated by the Interceptor or a database or file reference. Dynamic authentication is invoked above and beyond any conventional authentication steps required of a login device (for example, user ID and password or the continued presence of a connected token). Properly structured, the additional authentication steps thwart hijacking and other hacking techniques that can seek to leverage legitimate initial client login.
