Abstract:
A plurality of computing devices used to access backend computing resources of an enterprise by a specific user are identified, and geo-locations of the devices at specific times are tracked. A trusted authentication is received from a specific one of the devices. Responsive to the trusted authentication, the specific device is classified as the primary node of a trusted cluster, and the current geo-location of the user is defined as the geo-location of the specific device, as of the time of the trusted authentication. Devices are assigned to a logical trusted device cluster or to a logical non-trusted device cluster, based on distances between the device geo-locations and the current geo-location of the user, and based on differences between establishment times of the device geo-locations and the establishment time of the user's geo-location.
