  • Patent number: 11461495
    Abstract: An approach for cognitively processing documents to ameliorate inadvertent sharing of sensitive information during electronic communications is disclosed. The approach determines a first context and historical context of an electronic communication being prepared for transmission. The approach determines one or more risk scores based on the first context and the historical context. The approach assigns the one or more risk scores to the first context and the historical context and determining whether the one or more risk scores exceed one or more predetermined thresholds. The approach executes an action plan to prevent sensitive document from being transmitted should the risk score exceed the threshold.

  • Patent number: 11183047
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe identifying and containing contaminants using, IoT devices. Embodiments describe, identifying objects and user activity in a designated area through a plurality of internet of things (IoT) devices and a plurality of IoT sensors, determining a contamination risk in the designated area, and generating an augmented reality contamination path for the contamination risk based on the identified objects and user activity in the designated area. Additionally, embodiments describe, displaying an augmented reality contamination path to a user on an augmented reality device, and activating an IoT containment device to contain the contamination risk.

  • Publication number: 20210157933
    Abstract: An approach for securing a shared physical workspace from leaking sensitive subject matter is disclosed. The approach leverages machine learning and gathers data associated with a meeting scheduled for a shared physical workspace along with the users. The approach captures the content of the meeting in the shared workspace and determines one or more risk score based on the captured content and determines whether the one or more users are authorized to be exposed to the captured content based on the one or more risk score. The approach can generate one or more plans to mitigate the risk of sensitive information being exposed.
