Method and system for user behavior risk assessment

Abstract

A predetermined specific behavioral profile associated with at least one specific user of the computing system is identified, the specific behavioral profile identifying expected behavior of the at least one user within the computing system. Activities associated with use of the computing system by the particular user are identified, and it is determined whether the identified activities are related to the particular behavioral profile. Activities that deviate from the particular behavioral profile beyond a particular threshold are identified, triggering a risk event associated with the particular user.

Description

[0001] This application is claimed under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 548,276, filed October 18, 2011, entitled "USERBEHAVIORAL RISK ASSESSMENT," and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 548,276, filed October 18, 2011, entitled Priority benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 548,292 for "USER BEHAVIORAL RISK ASSESSMENT," each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of computer security, and more specifically, to risk assessment of computing systems. Background technique [0003] The Internet has enabled the interconnection of disparate computer networks all over the world. However, the ability to effectively secure and maintain stable computers and systems presents serious obstacles to component manufacturers, system designers, computer and network operators. This hurdle is made even more complicated...
