Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to maintaining and using a persistent fidelity score to grant access and subsequently grant/deny access to a computer-based system (e.g., or data therein) by user entities. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a persistent fidelity score concerning characteristics associated with a user entity is generated based on activity of the user entity over a time period during which the user entity accesses a computer-based system. Continued access to the computer-based system by the user entity is selectively granted or denied during the time period, in response to the persistent fidelity score being within a threshold tolerance and based on characteristics associated with the user entity.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- via data-processor computing circuitry,
- generating, for a user entity, a persistent fidelity score for the user entity, based on activity of the user entity over a time period that includes an initial time period during which the user entity is selectively granted access a computer-based system based on the persistent fidelity score, such that the user entity may use one or more assets of the computer-based system, and that further includes an ensuing time period during which the user entity continues to access the computer-based system, such that the user entity may continue to use the one or more assets of the computer-based system;
- and
- during the ensuing time period, updating the persistent fidelity score for the user entity based on further activity information corresponding to the user entity, and selectively denying continued access to the computer-based system by the user entity, in response to the updated persistent fidelity score being outside a threshold tolerance, such that the user entity is prevented from continuing to use the one or more assets of the computer-based system.
An apparatus comprising:
- communications circuitry to communicate with a plurality of endpoint devices that provide interaction for user entities and access to a computer-based system;
- and
- one or more processing circuits to:
- generate, for each user entity, a persistent fidelity score for the user entity, based on activity of the user entity over a time period that includes an initial time period during which the user entity is selectively granted access to the computer-based system based on the persistent fidelity score, such that the user entity may use one or more assets of the computer-based system, and that further includes an ensuring time period during which the user entity continues to access the computer-based system such that the user entity may continue to use the one or more assets of the computer-based system;
- and
- during the ensuring time period, update the persistent fidelity score for the user entity based on further activity information corresponding to the user entity, and selectively deny continued access to the computer-based system by the user entity, in response to the updated persistent fidelity score being outside a threshold tolerance, such that the user entity is prevented from continuing to use the one or more assets of the computer-based system.
A method comprising:
- maintaining a persistent fidelity score for a user entity, by generating the fidelity score and subsequently updating the fidelity score over a time period during which the user entity accesses a computer-based system, based on activity of the user entity over the time period, such that the user entity may use one or more assets of the computer-based system;
- and
- selectively denying continued access to the computer-based system by the user entity during the time period, in response to the updated fidelity score being outside a threshold tolerance and based on the characteristics associated with the user entity, such that the user entity is prevented from continuing to use the one or more assets of the computer-based system.
