Abstract
A system includes at least one processor to continually monitor at least one resource associated with a computing network for a condition in the computing network that may trigger an authorization control modification, determine that the condition has occurred in the computing network, and dynamically and automatically modify a user authorization control for at least one particular user responsive to the condition.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a network adapter to communicate with a computing network;
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- and
- at least one processor to execute instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:
- continually monitor the computing network for a condition that may trigger an authorization control modification for at least one particular user of the computing network, the condition comprising the at least one particular user moving from a first team to a second team;
- determine that the condition has occurred in the computing network;
- and
- dynamically and automatically modify at least one user authorization control for the at least one particular user responsive to the condition;
- wherein the first team or the second team comprises one of a migration team, a technology deployment team, a disaster recovery testing team, or an auditing team;
- and
- wherein dynamically and automatically modifying the at least one user authorization control for the at least one particular user comprises:
- using machine-learning analytics to determine the at least one user authorization control, wherein the machine-learning analytics include previous security events indicating that one or more members of a first team were unable to access a needed resource;
- and
- increasing an authorization level for members of the first team to provide access to the needed resource.

A method comprising:
- continually monitoring, by at least one processor, a computing network for a condition that may trigger an authorization control modification for at least one particular user of the computing network, the condition comprising the at least one particular user moving from a first team to a second team;
- determining, by the at least one processor, that the condition has occurred in the computing network;
- and
- dynamically and automatically modifying, by the at least one processor, at least one user authorization control for the at least one particular user responsive to the condition;
- wherein the first team or the second team comprises one of a migration team, a technology deployment team, a disaster recovery testing team, or an auditing team;
- and
- wherein dynamically and automatically modifying the at least one user authorization control for the at least one particular user comprises:
- using machine-learning analytics to determine the at least one user authorization control, wherein the machine-learning analytics include previous security events indicating that one or more members of a first team had higher permissions than were necessary to access a needed resource;
- and
- decreasing an authorization level for members of the first team if the previous security events indicated that the one or more members of the first team had higher permissions than were necessary to access the needed resource.
