A device and method for provided access to distributed data sources includes a cloud security server configured to associate any number of data sources and client devices with a cloud security server account. The cloud security server assigns trust levels to the data sources and the client devices. A client device requests data from the cloud security server. The cloud security server authenticates the client device and verifies the trust levels of the client device and the requested data. If verified, the cloud security server brokers a connection between the client device and the data source, and the client device accesses the requested data. Data sources may include cloud service providers and local storage devices. The cloud security server may assign a trust level to a client device for a limited time or revoke a trust level assigned to a client device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
