  • Patent number: 8812342
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product is provided for using compliance violation risk data about an entity to enable an identity management system to dynamically adjust the frequency in which the identity management system performs a reconciliation and compliance check of an identity account associated with the entity. Data associated with an identity account is collected, wherein the data comprises at least one of compliance data, prior compliance violations, or personal data about an entity associated with the identity account. One or more risk factors for the identity account based on the collected data are determined. A risk score of the identity account is calculated based on the determined risk factors. The identity account is then audited with a frequency according to the risk score assigned to the identity account.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7865466
    Abstract: A system for synchronizing account names from a plurality of source security systems. In response to coupling a conversion system between the plurality of source security systems and a target security system, identity data from a human resource system and account data from the plurality of local source security systems is loaded into the conversion system. A name resolution rule set is retrieved and a unique account name identification is generated for a set of account names associated with an identity using the name resolution rule set. The set of account names associated with the identity is converted to the unique account name identification to produce a synchronized set of account names associated with the identity. Then, the synchronized set of account names associated with the identity is stored in the target security system.
