Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that may cause a processor to identify a privilege level assigned to a principal over a resource and determine whether the assigned privilege level is to be maintained or modified for the principal over the resource. Based on a determination that the assigned privilege level is to be maintained for the principal, the processor may determine whether access by the principal over the resource is to be limited and based on a determination that access to the resource is to be limited, apply a limited access by the principal over the resource.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that may cause a processor to determine, for each of a plurality of members in a group, a respective least privilege level for a resource and determine, based on the determined respective least privilege levels, a privilege level to be assigned to the group for the resource. The instructions may also cause the processor to assign the determined privilege level to the group for the resource and apply the assigned privilege level to the members of the group for the resource.

Abstract: A computing system for generating allowed lists of applications for machines is provided. The system, for each machine, identifies a set of executed applications that were executed by that machine. The system then clusters the machines based on similarity between the sets of executed applications so that machines with similar sets are in the same cluster. The system then, for each cluster of machines, creates an allowed list of applications for the cluster that includes the applications in the sets of executed applications of the machines of the cluster. An allowed list for a cluster indicates that only applications in the allowed list are allowed to be executed by a machine in the cluster. The system then distributes the allowed list for a cluster to the machines of that cluster so that the machines execute only applications in the allowed list for their cluster.
