  • Patent number: 9129257
    Abstract: An approach for enabling the monitoring of high risk users is described. A high risk user (HRU) event management platform designates a user as a high risk user candidate and then initiates monitoring of activities of a computing device associated with identity information of the user. The HRU event management platform then collects data from the computing device and from one or more data sources according to one or more predetermined parameters specifying asset information. The data is correlated with the identity information of the user for confirming that the user is a high risk user.

  • Publication number: 20110246251
    Abstract: An approach is provided for content-based investigation services. Event data corresponding to content satisfying a predetermined criterion is received. A plurality of prioritization parameters relating to the content are retrieved. One or more of the prioritization parameters are selected based on the received event data. A prioritization score for the event data is generated using the selected parameters. Inspection of the event data is scheduled according to the prioritization score. A determination is selectively made whether the content is in violation according to the inspection.
