Abstract: A data model for managing identity and access management (IAM) data implemented at an electronic database may include a set of logical resource elements, a set of physical resource elements, and a set of access requests elements that respectively model logical resources, physical resources, and access requests received at an access request manager of an enterprise. The physical resource elements may be respectively associated with the logical resource elements such that access rights for the physical resources may be obtained based on a logical resource specified in the access request. A system for managing IAM may include a mapping module configured to transform heterogeneous IAM data provided by a plurality of IAM data sources into homogeneous IAM data formatted according to the common IAM data format. A data store may implement the IAM data model such that the data store is configured to store the homogeneous IAM data.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus may monitor a session that facilitates a user's access to a resource. The user may be granted a privilege associated with accessing the resource. The apparatus may detect a change associated with the privilege granted to the user in at least one token of a plurality of tokens. The apparatus may then communicate a token that represents the change, and receive a risk token associated with the token. The apparatus may then determine to revoke the privilege based on the risk token, and generate a second token that represents the determination to revoke the privilege. The apparatus may then communicate the second token to facilitate the revoking of the privilege.
