Abstract

A cloud service access and information gateway receives, from a user device, a request to access a cloud service. The cloud service access and information gateway determines a context of the request and compares the context of the request to a cloud service access policy. If the context of the request satisfies the cloud service access policy, the cloud service access and information gateway determines a type of information associated with the request and compares the type of information associated with the request to an information control policy. If the type of information satisfies the information control policy, the cloud service access and information gateway grants the user device access to the cloud service.
