HRM-INT-15Term
Adaptive control
A security control whose strength changes with a person's measured risk: stricter authentication, narrower access or tighter data rules for high-risk cohorts, relaxed again as risk falls.
Example
An identity engineer sets a rule that members of the Critical cohort must re-authenticate with a hardware key every session.
