Geofencing Security

Definitions

1. Security controls that use geographic boundaries or location-based conditions to allow, restrict, or alert on access and activity. Geofencing security is common in fraud prevention and conditional access, though it depends on the reliability of IP or device location signals.

   In plain English: Using location or geographic rules as part of security decisions.

   Example: "The bank used geofencing security to block logins from countries where it had no customers."
