Abstract: Managing privileged system access may be performed by a risk management system controlling user access privilege to production systems. One example method of operation may provide at least one of detecting an insecure user action at a user device, reducing an access privilege of a user profile associated with the user device to one or more privileged production servers, providing the user device with an application based on the insecure user action, determining that an outcome associated with the application has been achieved, and re-instating the access privilege of the user profile.

Abstract: A network element manager (111) manages a plurality of network elements 101-109 of a communication system. The network element manager (111) comprises a service processor (213) which is arranged to detect a service resumption following a service disruption which is associated with the plurality of network elements 101-109. An ordering processor (211) determines an order of resynchronization for the plurality of network elements 101-109 in response to at least one operational characteristic of the plurality of network elements 101-109. The operational characteristic can be a capacity or traffic level supported by the network element 101-109. A resynchronization processor (209) then resynchronizes the plurality of network elements 101-109 following the service resumption in the determined order of resynchronization. The invention can specifically improve resynchronization performance in a cellular communication system.
