  • Patent number: 10505965
    Abstract: A particular activity performed by a particular user of a computing device is identified, for instance, by an agent installed on the computing device. It is determined that the particular activity qualifies as a particular use violation in a plurality of pre-defined use violations. A behavioral risk score for the particular score for the user is determined based at least in part on the determination that the particular activity of the particular user qualifies as a particular use violation. Determining that the particular activity qualifies as a particular use violation can include determining that the particular activity violates a particular rule or event trigger corresponding to a particular pre-defined use violation.

  • Patent number: 9648035
    Abstract: A predetermined particular behavioral profile is identified associated with at least one particular user of a computing system, the particular behavioral profile identifying expected behavior of the at least one user within the computing system. Activities associated with use of the computing system by the particular user are identified and it is determined whether the identified activities correlate with the particular behavioral profile. Identifying an activity that deviates from the particular behavioral profile beyond a particular threshold triggers a risk event relating to the particular user.
