1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • processor circuitry communicatively coupled with communication interface circuitry, the processor circuitry is arranged to operate a request receiver to at least receive, via the communication interface circuitry, a request from a computing device for a user to access a computer-accessible resource using the computing device;

    the processor circuitry arranged to operate a context retriever to at least obtain context information including information about a state of the computing device that includes information about one or more states of one or more local resources of the computing device, the local resource being physically located in or on the computing device or being in communication with the computing device via a short range communication link; and

    the processor circuitry arranged to operate an access mediator to at least;

    determine, based on the context information and an operating profile for the user or the computing device, whether the computing device is permitted to access the computer-accessible resource, andmediate access of the computer-accessible resource by the computing device, wherein, to mediate access, the access mediator is to;

    grant access to the computer-accessible resource when the user or the computing device is allowed to access the computer-accessible resource, andgrant access to an alternative computer-accessible resource when the user or the computing device is not allowed to access the computer-accessible resource and when the user or the computing device is allowed to access the alternative computer-accessible resource.
