Context aware security is a branch of information security that uses situational information like location, time, browser used, and blacklist/whitelist of networks to determine whether to allow or deny access to information. It analyzes factors around an access request to understand the who, what, when, where, and why to make more informed access decisions. Context aware security conducts historical analysis of browsers used and denies requests if they are outside normal user behavior or come from abnormal locations or times.
