  • Patent number: 9842221
    Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a system that analyzes and optimizes roles and authorizations for users of a customer. The system determines which executables have been used by users in the system over a certain time period. Thereafter, the system analyzes and optimizes authorizations within the assigned roles for the users. The authorizations for the roles assigned to the user are then analyzed. The vendor roles typically have redundant authorizations, some of which may be used and some not used. The system can then generate a new customer role for the user with the used authorizations combined into the new role. For example, the authorizations used by the user are combined into the new customer role. This reduces the number of roles the user has assigned to him/her, and also the number of authorizations. Also, the new customer role may be added to other users with the same role at the customer.

  • Patent number: 9838354
    Abstract: A device may obtain information regarding firewall rules. The information, for a firewall rule of the firewall rules, may include one or more match condition values and a ranking value. The firewall rule may be applicable to packets that are associated with packet information that matches the match condition values. A match condition value may be associated with a match count that identifies a quantity of times that packets match the match condition value. The ranking value may identify a quantity of times that the firewall rule has been applied to the packets. The device may obtain a new firewall rule. The device may predict a ranking value of the new firewall rule based on match condition values of the new firewall rule and/or based on analyzing the information regarding the plurality of firewall rules. The device may perform an action based on the predicted ranking value.
