Abstract

A service request and a credential are sent from a customer environment to a service provider. The service provider maintains information, such as a credential whitelist, that identifies which credentials may be used with each customer environment. The service provider identifies the particular customer environment from which the service request was submitted using the IP address of the requester (or other environment-identifying information), and retrieves information that restricts the use of the credentials. A request may be approved or rejected based on the presence of the associated credential in a whitelist notwithstanding whether the credential otherwise authorizes the service request. In some examples, the system is used to limit data exfiltration from a customer environment.
