Abstract: The program controls access to data objects stored on a tangible device of a computer system within an enterprise. A user request to access a data object identifies a user role by looking up the user identification in an enterprise directory. The program determines whether the role of the user is permitted access to a system and also determines a risk score representing a risk of dissemination of the requested data object. The program compares the risk score of the requested data object to a pre-configured threshold value of the requested data object and controls access to the requested data object, based on the role of the user, and the risk score associated with the risk of disseminating the requested data object.

Abstract: A method for performing software error detection and prediction. The method includes identifying a plurality of software components in a computer software product. For each of the software components of the plurality of software components, the risk-relevant historical data pertaining to the respective software component is measured, then classified into at least a set of risk-increasing data and a set of risk-decreasing data. The set of risk-increasing data and the set of risk-decreasing data are then normalized, and a failure risk value for the respective software component is calculated by subtracting a weighted sum of the normalized values for the risk-decreasing data from a weighted sum of the normalized values for the risk-increasing data.

Abstract: A user conducts activities, such as researching a product online or visiting a store that sells the product. A user then utilizes a risk analysis system to receive and store user activity data for the user's activities. When a purchase attempt is made with the user's financial account, a merchant sends a transaction request to the risk analysis system. The risk analysis system locates a record for the user and determines whether the product is identified in the user activity data. If the product is identified, the risk analysis system provides a risk score to the merchant indicating that the transaction is unlikely fraudulent. Alternatively, identification of the product provides a positive factor among multiple factors considered in a transaction risk analysis. An absence of the product in the activity can be used as a neutral or negative factor among multiple factors considered in a risk analysis of the transaction.
