System and method for controlling login access to computer resource assets

A gateway sub-system, comprising:

• a memory configured to store predetermined login information associated with a user;
• a communication interface configured to receive inputted login information from the user;
• and
• a processor configured by software therein to evaluate the inputted login information as matching or not matching the predetermined login information, to monitor N login failure conditions of the user, in which N is greater than 1, and to control access of a computer resource asset by the user depending on the user meeting the N login failure conditions,
• wherein the N login failure conditions include:
• a first login failure condition being L1 login attempts by the user within T1 seconds without success;
• and
• at least an Nth login failure condition being LN login attempts by the user within TN seconds without success.

A method, comprising:

• storing, in a memory, predetermined login information associated with a user;
• receiving inputted login information from the user at a communication interface;
• evaluating the inputted login information by a processor configured by software therein;
• determining a matching or not matching of the predetermined login information;
• monitoring N login failure conditions of the user, in which N is greater than 1;
• and
• controlling access of a computer resource asset by the user depending on the user meeting the N login failure conditions,
• wherein the N login failure conditions include:
• a first login failure condition being 5 login attempts by the user within 15 seconds without success;
• a second failure condition being 7 login attempts by the user within 30 seconds without success;
• a third login failure condition being 8 login attempts by the user within 45 seconds without success;
• and
• a fourth login failure condition being 10 login attempts by the user within 60 seconds without success.
