1. A system, comprising:
a computer resource asset; and
a gateway sub-system having a processor configured by software therein to monitor at least one login attempt by a user, up to N progressive login attempts being N login failure conditions of the user, in which N is greater than 1, and to control access of the computer resource asset by the user depending on the user meeting the N login failure conditions,
wherein the N login failure conditions include:
a first login failure condition of the user being L1 login attempts by the user within T1 seconds without success;
at least an Nth login failure condition of the user subsequent to and distinct from the first login failure condition, wherein the at least an Nth login failure condition consists of LN login attempts by the user within TN seconds without success,
wherein in the case that the gateway sub-system detects a successful login attempt by the user at any time during the at least one login attempt, the gateway sub-system controls access by granting the user access to the computer resource asset, and
wherein in the case that the gateway sub-system detects that the user meets all of the N login failure conditions during the N progressive login attempts, the gateway sub-system controls access by blocking the user from accessing the computer resource asset.
