Managing policies

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

providing, by processing circuitry, a plurality of policies, including a first policy related to a work location, a second policy related to a non-work location, and a third policy related to a non-visited location;

storing, by processing circuitry, a location history in connection with a user, wherein the location history identifies one or more locations visited by the user and/or one or more locations never visited by the user;

receiving, by processing circuitry, an authentication request originating from the user to access a computerized resource;

determining, by processing circuitry, a current location in connection with the authentication request;

assigning, by processing circuitry, a risk score to the authentication request based on one or more risk factors, wherein the risk factors include a first risk factor based on an analysis of the current location and the location history, wherein the risk factors include a second risk factor based on a determination of whether the current location is associated with a location of a greater threat, wherein the risk factors include a third risk factor based on a determination of whether there has been or will be a temporary influx of people into an area comprising the current location;

selecting, by processing circuitry, one of the plurality of policies based on the current location;

based on the risk score and the selected policy, determining, by processing circuitry, a level of user access to provide to the computerized resource; and

providing, by processing circuitry, user access to the computerized resource in accordance with the said level of user access.

2. A system, comprising:

memory; and

processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:

provide a plurality of policies, including a first policy related to a work location, a second policy related to a non-work location, and a third policy related to a non-visited location;

store a location history in connection with a user, wherein the location history identifies one or more locations visited by the user and/or one or more locations never visited by the user;

receive an authentication request originating from the user to access a computerized resource;

determine a current location in connection with the authentication request;

assign a risk score to the authentication request based on one or more risk factors, wherein the risk factors include a first risk factor based on an analysis of the current location and the location history, wherein the risk factors include a second risk factor based on a determination of whether the current location is associated with a location of a greater threat, wherein the risk factors include a third risk factor based on a determination of whether there has been or will be a temporary influx of people into an area comprising the current location;

select one of the plurality of policies based on the current location;

based on the risk score and the selected policy, determine a level of user access to provide to the computerized resource; and

provide user access to the computerized resource in accordance with the said level of user access.

3. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising instructions for:

providing a plurality of policies, including a first policy related to a work location, a second policy related to a non-work location, and a third policy related to a non-visited location;

storing a location history in connection with a user, wherein the location history identifies one or more locations visited by the user and/or one or more locations never visited by the user;

receiving an authentication request originating from the user to access a computerized resource;

determining a current location in connection with the authentication request;

assigning a risk score to the authentication request based on one or more risk factors, wherein the risk factors include a first risk factor based on an analysis of the current location and the location history, wherein the risk factors include a second risk factor based on a determination of whether the current location is associated with a location of a greater threat, wherein the risk factors include a third risk factor based on a determination of whether there has been or will be a temporary influx of people into an area comprising the current location;

selecting one of the plurality of policies based on the current location;

based on the risk score and the selected policy, determining a level of user access to provide to the computerized resource; and

providing user access to the computerized resource in accordance with the said level of user access.
