Network authentication of a geo-fenced volume

A computer implemented method for managing a software defined network by a processor in a wireless access point hardware security device, the method comprising:

• defining a first geo-fenced volume of the software defined network using a coordinate system that includes a range of latitudes, a range of longitudes, and a range of altitudes, wherein the range of latitudes, the range of longitudes, and the range of altitudes is included in data received from a Global Positioning System;
• determining a geographic location of a device using a latitude, a longitude, and an altitude within the coordinate system, wherein the latitude, the longitude, and the altitude is included in the data received from the Global Positioning System;
• accessing a user profile for the device that includes one or more network permissions based on the geographic location of the device relative to the first geo-fenced volume,
• wherein the one or more network permissions includes access to resources within the first geo-fenced volume,
• wherein the user profile includes the geographic location of the device and security information of a user,
• wherein the security information includes at least one of a biometric identity marker scan and an authentication identifier of the user,
• wherein the biometric identity markers scan is selected from the group consisting of a retinal scan and a fingerprint scan,
• wherein the authentication identifier is selected from the group consisting of badge access and guarded entries;
• determining a first condition where the geographic location of the device is within the first geo-fenced volume;
• granting the one or more network permissions in response to the first condition wherein the device is within the first geo-fenced volume;
• and
• providing physical access to the user to a second geo-fenced volume of the software defined network through a point of access based on the security information, wherein the point of access includes a locked doorway.
