Patent number: 12299157Abstract: A policy can be easily and appropriately set. A policy setting control device 100 that controls setting of a policy for controlling access to a resource includes a processor. The policy includes a resource to be accessed, a subject who accesses the resource, and an access operation. The processor receives an input policy 11 which is a candidate to be newly set, acquires an attribute value corresponding to values of a subject and a resource included in the input policy 11, generates one or more post-conversion policies 103 by changing the values of the subject and the resource included in the input policy 11 to the acquired attribute value, and sets the input policy as a new policy when all the generated post-conversion policies 103 are consistent with an existing policy.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Tsunehiko Baba, Jumpei Okoshi, Hiroaki Masuda

Patent number: 12130818Abstract: Provided are a data management apparatus, a data management system, and a data management method capable of creating an alternative for a useful query when a query for operating a database violates a data handling regulation of the database. When data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the query violates a rule that is the data handling regulation of the database, a data processing server generates an alternative query candidate to replace the query. The data processing server determines whether the alternative query candidate violates the rule by determining whether data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the alternative query candidate complies with the rule. When the alternative query candidate does not violate the rule, the data processing server proposes the alternative query candidate as an alternative query.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Tianben Ding, Mika Takata, Toshihiko Kashiyama, Hiroaki Masuda

Publication number: 20240220311Abstract: A generation device stores behavior information in which, for each of factors in a factor group, the factor is associated with a behavior taken when the factor is applicable. The processor executes an acquisition process of acquiring, for each of samples, a predicted probability based on whether or not each factor in the factor group is applicable and an importance level of each factor in the factor group which level is the basis for the predicted probability. An extraction process extracts a specific factor from the factor group on the basis of importance the levels obtained by the acquisition process, and a generation process acquires a specific behavior corresponding to the specific factor extracted by the extraction process, from the behavior information, and generates annotation information that presents the specific behavior to each sample to which the specific factor is applicable.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: July 4, 2024Inventors: Ken NAONO, Mika TAKATA, Hiroaki MASUDA
