  • Patent number: 11562087
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that can facilitate sensitive data policy recommendation are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component that can employ an artificial intelligence model to extract compliance data from a data source. The computer executable components can further comprise a recommendation component that can recommend a sensitive data policy based on the compliance data. In some embodiments, the recommendation component can further identify one or more sensitive data entities of a sensitive data dataset that are affected by actionable obligation data of the data source.

  • Patent number: 11120122
    Abstract: To improve the security performance of a computer system, a retrieval component executing on at least one hardware processor obtains a list of known compromised passwords. A validation component executing on the at least one hardware processor obtains a specification of a putative password and risk-scores the putative password based at least in part on presence of the putative password in the list of known compromised passwords. The system obtains a specification of an actual password chosen in accordance with the risk score of the putative password. Access to at least one aspect of the computer system is controlled based on the actual chosen password.

  • Patent number: 11068439
    Abstract: A method for unsupervised transformation of denormalized data into RDF data includes summarizing an existing resource description framework (RDF) file wherein a data summary file is produced, wherein said RDF file includes a plurality of nodes, property labels, and literals and is represented as a directed graph, and said data summary file is a graph that includes a single instance of each node-property-literal triple in the RDF file; analyzing a plurality of denormalized records wherein a record summary is produced, wherein said record summary is represented as a directed graph with a root node corresponding to each record connected to a node for each field in the record; determining one or more transformation patterns that match elements of the record summary to elements of the data summary; and transforming the plurality of denormalized records into a new RDF file by executing one of the one or more transformation patterns.
