Abstract:

Techniques to facilitate protection of data resources from unauthorized access are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a data shield server instructs a user to replace an address and a port associated with a data resource with an updated address associated with the data shield server and a unique port that is uniquely assigned to the user. A request from the user to access the data resource is received at the updated address associated with the data shield server and on the unique port that is uniquely assigned to the user. In response to the request, the user is authenticated using multi-factor authentication to verify that an identity of the user that submitted the request matches the user assigned to the unique port on which the request was received. Upon successful authentication, the data shield server operates as a proxy to connect the user through to the data resource.
