Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing an authentication policy for a user on a network of an organization includes determining at least one social media attribute of the user, and a social media risk value is assigned based on the at least one social media attribute of the user. The method further includes determining at least one network activity risk attribute of the user, and a network activity risk score is assigned based on the at least one network activity risk attribute. A current risk assessment score of the user is calculated based on the social media risk value and the network activity risk value. An authentication policy for the user is determined based on the current risk assessment score.
