Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for automatically adjusting user access permissions based on beacon proximity may include (1) identifying a network-enabled device that is attempting to access a network resource that is protected by a security policy, where the security policy identifies an access level at which one or more devices may access the network resource when the devices are within range of the short-range wireless signal from the secure beacon, (2) determining that the network-enabled device is within range of the short-range wireless signal from the secure beacon, and (3) establishing, according to the security policy, the access level at which the network-enabled device is allowed to access the network resource based at least in part on the network-enabled device being within range of the short-range wireless signal. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
