Abstract
Certain embodiments may generally relate to controlling access to data held in the cloud. A method for controlling access to data held in the cloud may include determining, at a cloud server, the validity of user credentials received from a user device. The method may also include receiving context data related to the user device based on the validity of the user credentials. The method may further include synchronizing the context data with the cloud server. In addition, the method may include enforcing context-sensitive security checks on requests made by the user for resources based on the sensor data collected by the user device.
