  • Patent number: 12086254
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one approach includes receiving behavior data associated with a user's behavior on at least one device. The behavior data is based on one or more of an email account, a browser history, password usage and online behavior history. Risk levels associated with the behavior data are generated and role-based risk events are predicted based on the behavior data. The method further includes simulating the role-based risk events based on the risk levels, and adjusting role-based access control of the user based on results of the simulating. A computer program product for adjusting role-based access control according to another approach includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 11366826
    Abstract: A method can include obtaining user interaction data by monitoring a set of user interactions between a user and one or more data elements of a data table. The method can further include determining a set of data element scores based, at least in part, on the user interaction data. The method can further include generating a customized data visualization based, at least in part, on the set of data element scores and the data elements of the data table.
