Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for continuous user authentication during access of a digital service. In an exemplary aspect, a continuous authentication module may receive, at a computing device, initial authentication credentials of the user. The initial authentication credentials enable access to a service via the computing device. While the service is being accessed, the continuous authentication module may continuously monitor whether an unauthorized user has replaced the user in accessing the service by comparing usage attributes of the service with historic usage attributes associated with the user. In response to determining that the unauthorized user has replaced the user, the continuous authentication module may cease the access to the service via the computing device.
