Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing access to data through enforcement of one or more associated rules. In various embodiments, a directory may be used to manage and/or otherwise record various relationships between objects, that may include governed objects such as data sets, and associated rules and rule sets. Access requests involving governed objects may be compared with relevant rules to determine whether the requested access should be allowed and what, if any, restrictions should be applied in connection with such access. Various embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may allow for a data governance model that is flexible, allows for use across multiple complex organizations, and is highly extensible.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to, among other things, managing data communicated between systems, services, and/or devices using explicit private networking techniques that provide relatively robust end-to-end security. In some embodiments, explicit private networking techniques may protect data in transit and/or as at rest and/or in use in potentially hostile environments. In various embodiments, an explicit private networking techniques architecture may protect connected device data where and when it is generated by encrypting it and maintaining that protection until it is consumed in a trusted information platform and/or service that uses identity and access management services to identify, authenticate, and/or authorize permissions to read, modify, and/or collaborate with that data and/or control devices and/or issue associated device commands.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing access to data through enforcement of one or more associated rules. In various embodiments, a directory may be used to manage and/or otherwise record various relationships between objects, that may include governed objects such as data sets, and associated rules and rule sets. Access requests involving governed objects may be compared with relevant rules to determine whether the requested access should be allowed and what, if any, restrictions should be applied in connection with such access. Various embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may allow for a data governance model that is flexible, allows for use across multiple complex organizations, and is highly extensible.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to, among other things, secure data rights management and governance. Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide for a data access control and management architecture that enforces one or more rules, restrictions, and/or configurations in connection with managing access requests to data. In various embodiments, one or more of the enforced rules, restrictions, and/or configurations may articulate access conditions that depend, at least in part, on a source, physical location, and/or an execution environment associated with a data access request. In this manner, data access may be managed and/or governed based, at least in part, on the source, location, system and/or associated environment requesting access to the data.
