  • Patent number: 11763296
    Abstract: A device configured to receive a service request for modifying a user account. The device is further configured to add an entry in a service request log and in an event log in response to receiving the first service request. The device is further configured to apply the modifications instructions from the service request to a current status of the user account in a status log and to modify the current status of the user account in the status log. The device is further configured to determine a second data control device is associated with the user account. The device is further configured to determine the first set of service instructions based on the updated first current status of the user account, to generate a second service request that comprises the first set of service instructions, and to send the second service request to the second network device.

  • Patent number: 10360356
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring access of computing resources. Usage rules may be created and stored that define a usage constraint based on actions available to be performed at the computing resources. An authenticator may verify login credentials received from a user and authorize the user to access a computing resource. A request to perform an action at the computing resource may be received, and a usage monitor may apply a usage rule to the requested action. If the requested action violates the usage constraint of the usage rule, the usage monitor may halt performance of the requested action and notify another user of the usage constraint violation. The authenticator may receive and verify another set of login credentials from that other user. In response to successful verification of the additional set of login credentials, the usage monitor may resume performance of the requested action.

  • Patent number: 9639594
    Abstract: A data model for managing identity and access management (IAM) data implemented at an electronic database may include a set of logical resource elements, a set of physical resource elements, and a set of access requests elements that respectively model logical resources, physical resources, and access requests received at an access request manager of an enterprise. The physical resource elements may be respectively associated with the logical resource elements such that access rights for the physical resources may be obtained based on a logical resource specified in the access request. A system for managing IAM may include a mapping module configured to transform heterogeneous IAM data provided by a plurality of IAM data sources into homogeneous IAM data formatted according to the common IAM data format. A data store may implement the IAM data model such that the data store is configured to store the homogeneous IAM data.

  • Publication number: 20160203158
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a system maintains a plurality of metadata elements. Each metadata element indicates a current classification value for user data described by that metadata element. The system detects the occurrence of an event and automatically determines which of the metadata elements are affected by the event. For each metadata element affected by the event, the system automatically determines an updated classification value for the user data described by that metadata element and dynamically modifies the metadata element to indicate the updated classification value.

  • Patent number: 9094391
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems dynamic trust federation. In one aspect, a computer implemented method may include a security token that enables sign-on into a group applications based on applicable trust criteria. In one aspect, when a user interacts with one application in the group, the trust is elevated through the application internal authentication application program interface (API). The trust may be included in the security token to make available to other applications in the group. Applications can be in multiple groups with variable level of authentication based on location and other transactions variables.

  • Patent number: 9075791
    Abstract: A system for managing an enterprise concept dictionary may include an electronic master dictionary and electronic local dictionaries. The master dictionary may include concept entries respectively associated with concept identifiers and with one or more concept definitions. The local dictionaries may include one or more of the concept identifiers of the master dictionary. A dictionary management module may be in signal communication with the master dictionary and the local dictionaries. The dictionary management module may be configured to query the master dictionary for a concept entry that corresponds to a concept associated with a modeling component. If a concept entry is found, the concept identifier may be provided. If a concept entry is not found, a new concept entry may be added to the master dictionary. A notification module may be in signal communication with the master dictionary and automatically provide notification when a concept entry is added or updated.
