Abstract

An adaptive strike count management is implemented for securing resources. The method authorizes access to a resource if a security credential matches pre-stored security data. However, when the security credential does not match the pre-stored security data, the adaptive strike count management method denies access to the resource; assesses the risk level based on the security credential; increments a strike counter by a predetermined value based on the risk level; and disables further access attempts to the resource if the strike counter exceeds a threshold. The strike counter is incremented by a first value when the risk level is assessed to be a first level, a second value when the risk level is assessed to be a second level, and a third value when the risk level is assessed to be a third level.
