Publication number: 20240346158Abstract: To reduce a risk of detecting an access within a range of temporarily elevated access authority as an unauthorized access, an unauthorized access detection device stores elevated access management data related to an elevated access operation (an operation within a range of temporarily elevated access authority) performed on a system. An operation log source that is a source of an operation log is configured to accumulate operation logs of operations as the elevated access operation on the system, as well as operation logs of operations other than the elevated access operation. The unauthorized access detection device acquires an operation history (one or more operation logs) from the operation log source, and performs determination on whether a response is required that is a determination on whether an operation identified from the operation history is an operation as an unauthorized access not matching an operation identified from the elevated access management data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Kiyomi WADA, Mineyoshi MASUDA
