  • Monitoring usage of an application to identify characteristics and trigger security control
    Patent number: 11151272
    Abstract: A computing environment for monitoring usage of an application to identify characteristics and trigger security control includes an application system that performs a query configured to identify any application calls performed in a predetermined period of time within the computing environment; for each identified application call, builds a corresponding application characteristics entry in a database; for each identified application call, identifies a plurality of characteristics of the called application including at least one downstream resource; associates the identified plurality of characteristics with the application characteristics entry in the database, thereby creating an application mapping; identifies security controls associated with each of the applications in the application mapping; associates the identified security controls with the associated application characteristics entry in the application mapping; and automatically triggers assessment of an effectiveness of the security controls in re

  • MONITORING USAGE OF AN APPLICATION TO IDENTIFY CHARACTERISTICS AND TRIGGER SECURITY CONTROL
    Publication number: 20200159951
    Abstract: A computing environment for monitoring usage of an application to identify characteristics and trigger security control includes an application system that performs a query configured to identify any application calls performed in a predetermined period of time within the computing environment; for each identified application call, builds a corresponding application characteristics entry in a database; for each identified application call, identifies a plurality of characteristics of the called application including at least one downstream resource; associates the identified plurality of characteristics with the application characteristics entry in the database, thereby creating an application mapping; identifies security controls associated with each of the applications in the application mapping; associates the identified security controls with the associated application characteristics entry in the application mapping; and automatically triggers assessment of an effectiveness of the security controls in re
