Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor operatively coupled to a memory. The processor receives a first set of risk assessment rules including first user privilege criteria and first device criteria. The first device criteria include a computing device patch level, a network type, and/or a password policy. The processor identifies a user-specific security risk based on the first set of risk assessment rules and applies a privilege mitigation measure based on the user-specific security risk without being in communication with a management server. The processor later receives a second, updated set of risk assessment rules at the computing device. Upon detecting another login of the user, the processor identifies an updated user-specific security risk based on the updated set of risk assessment rules, and applies a modified privilege mitigation measure based on the updated user-specific security risk, again without being in communication with the management server.
