Production Protection Correlation Engine for Toxic Access Mitigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in identifying and managing toxic access permissions effectively, leading to unauthorized access in secure information systems, particularly in enterprise environments where users may have conflicting roles.
Innovation Solution
A production protection correlation engine that aggregates access permission data, normalizes it, classifies user roles, identifies toxic access permissions, triggers an access review process, and revokes incompatible permissions to prevent segregation of duties violations and unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users are given broad access permissions to perform multiple roles, then operational efficiency is improved, but security risk increases due to conflicting roles and toxic permissions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by classifying user roles and identifying toxic permissions before they can cause harm. The access permission data is processed in advance to normalize formats, classify roles, and identify conflicts, allowing preventive measures to be taken before actual security breaches occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring access permission data, comparing it against classified user roles, and providing feedback when toxic permissions are detected. This enables the system to automatically trigger access review processes and revoke incompatible permissions, creating a closed-loop security management system.
2Reliability
If access permission data is collected from multiple data sources, then comprehensive permission management is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex data processing task into distinct manageable steps: acquiring data from multiple sources, normalizing data formats, classifying user roles, identifying toxic permissions, and executing review processes. This segmentation allows each step to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall complex process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system handles data from multiple sources by changing parameters through normalization. Different data formats from various sources are converted into a unified normalized format, allowing consistent processing and comparison. This parameter transformation simplifies the complexity introduced by multiple data sources.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If toxic access permissions are identified and revoked, then information security is improved, but operational disruption may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to identify toxic permissions and trigger controlled review processes. By continuously monitoring and comparing access permissions against classified roles, the system can identify conflicts and initiate structured review procedures that balance security requirements with operational needs, allowing for controlled revocation rather than abrupt termination.
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a production protection correlation engine. In some embodiments, a computing platform may acquire access permission data aggregated from a plurality of data sources and normalize the access permission data. Then, the computing platform may identify user-specific entitlements and classify user roles. Next, the computing platform may tag the normalized permission data based on user role classification data. Based on the tagging, the computing platform may identify at least one enterprise user having one or more toxic access permissions and, in response, trigger an access review process. In turn, the computing platform may revoke one or more incompatible access permissions. Then, the computing platform may transmit updated access permission data to a system of record, causing the system of record to store the updated access permission data in a database and limit access to enterprise resources based on the updated access permission data.
