Claim One:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a device, a request to access a service or an asset; obtaining, by the device, parameters pertaining to the request, wherein the parameters include a user identifier that identifies a user from which the request originates, a network address of a user device associated with the user, and whether the request is an idle request; evaluating, by the device, a level of risk associated with the request, wherein the evaluating comprises: using the parameters as input to membership functions, wherein the outputs of the membership functions indicate degrees of respective states in relation to the user's attempted access of the service or the asset; applying the outputs of the membership functions to T-norm functions and application of rules that indicate levels of risk based on the respective states; normalizing the outputs from the T-norm functions; generating intermediary outputs based on normalized outputs and values associated with the parameters; and outputting the level of risk based on the intermediary outputs; and outputting, by the device, a security response based on the level of risk associated with the request.
