  • Patent number: 11562087
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that can facilitate sensitive data policy recommendation are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component that can employ an artificial intelligence model to extract compliance data from a data source. The computer executable components can further comprise a recommendation component that can recommend a sensitive data policy based on the compliance data. In some embodiments, the recommendation component can further identify one or more sensitive data entities of a sensitive data dataset that are affected by actionable obligation data of the data source.

  • Patent number: 11120122
    Abstract: To improve the security performance of a computer system, a retrieval component executing on at least one hardware processor obtains a list of known compromised passwords. A validation component executing on the at least one hardware processor obtains a specification of a putative password and risk-scores the putative password based at least in part on presence of the putative password in the list of known compromised passwords. The system obtains a specification of an actual password chosen in accordance with the risk score of the putative password. Access to at least one aspect of the computer system is controlled based on the actual chosen password.
