Abstract

A method and associated system. Before allowing a user to use a secured resource, a first security check may be performed with respect to the user and/or the secured resource to determine whether a first security condition is satisfied. In response to a first security condition being satisfied, allowing the user to use the secured resource. In response to failing to satisfy the at least one first security condition, performing a second security check on the user with a second security condition. In response to passing a second security condition, allowing the user to use the secured resource. The first security condition may include a dynamic evaluation of at least one available data point to calculate a projected security risk of the user using the secured resource and the level of complexity of the second security condition may be set based on the calculated projected security risk.
